Shankar out for 43; India lose 2nd wicket

February 10, 2019 15:01

India 92-2 (9 ovs) vs NZ 212-4 | Scorecard

Santner comes back into the attack. He bowls another good over, giving away just five runs, including a wide.

Spin from both ends as leg-spinner Ish Sodhi comes in from the other end. He also looks to keep up the pressure with some tight bowling, conceding just two singles from the first three balls.

Shankar breaks the shackles with back to back sixes off the leg-spinner. He despatches a wide full delivery over the cover fence and slog sweeps the next to make it two sixes in a row.

Sodhi nearly scalps Shankar with a flighted delivery which turns sharply as the right-hander attempts the cut but is beaten.

Shankar continues his attack as he lofts Santner over the covers for a four. But the bowler has the last laugh as he gets the wicket of Shankar, who is caught at deep midwicket after a quickfire 43 from 28 balls.

Rishabh Pant wastes no time in getting going. He sweeps the first ball he faces, from Santner, behind square on the leg side for a four before he swings the last ball over midwicket for a six.
