February 10, 2019 13:00

NZ 66-0 (6 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Hardik Pandya comes into the attack in place of Bhuvneshwar. Two singles from the first two balls before Munro clubs a length ball over midwicket for a four.

The next ball is a full toss as the left-hander clips it through midwicket for two runs and then inside edges the next ball.

The last ball is a bouncer as Munro is content to duck under it.

Pandyas from both ends now!

Spin introduced in the Powerplay as Krunal Pandya is called into the attack to bowl the sixth over.

Munro swings the second ball over midwicket for a six as New Zealand race past the 50-run mark, in the sixth over.

He comes down the track again and this time he lofts it over the cover region for a four forcing captain Rohit and senior pro Dhoni to have a long chat with the bowler.

The next ball is short as Munro cuts it to deep point for a single.

Seifert again walks across his stumps and sweeps a full toss over the square leg fence for a six as 18 come from the first five balls.

The last ball is short as Seifert goes back and cuts it past point for two runs as Krunal goes for 20 in his first over.

New Zealand are off to a flier as they race to 66 for no loss in six overs, with Seifert smashing 36 from 20 balls, while Munro has hit 29 from 16 balls.
