Iyer, Pant hit 50s to boost India

December 15, 2019 16:09

India 165-3 (33 ovs) vs WI | Scorecard

India are making a good comeback in the middle overs, with good rotation of strike by the two youngsters and the odd boundary in between.

Singles from the first three balls before Paul bowls a high toss to Pant, which is ruled a no-ball.

Pant tries to reverse sweep the free hit delivery which is out of his range and is called a wide.

He then whips the next ball through fine leg for a four before taking a single to race to into the 40s.

Pant is looking quite good. He drives Holder through the covers for two runs and then takes one to thirdman to bring up India's 150, in the 32nd over.

Iyer picks a single to point to complete his fifty from 70 balls as the TV umpire rules the delivery a no-ball as Holder oversteps.

Pant then lofts the free hit delivery straight back over the bowler's head for a four before he runs the next fine past the diving wicketkeeper for one.

21 runs from the last two overs as India reach 158 for three in 32 overs.

In the next over, Pant whips Cottrell through square leg for two runs to race to his fifty from 49 balls.

A timely half-century for Pant, who has been facing a lot of criticism recently for his poor returns with the bat and below-par showing with the gloves.

The duo have boosted India's run rate to the five per over mark as they reach 165 for three in 33 overs.
