Openers Nicholls, Guptill put NZ in control

February 08, 2020 08:40

NZ 83-0 (15 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

India still searching for their first breakthrough as Saini continues. He is generating good pace, bowling in excess of 140kph, and has also maintained a good line and length.

A single to Nicholls to thirdman before the pacer bowls a high full toss down the leg side which is ruled a wide and Guptill then takes a single.

Nicholls is hit on the pads trying to hit Saini through the leg side before he whips the last ball to fine leg for one.

In the next over, Guptill pulls a short ball from Chahal over midwicket for a six and he then takes a single to long-on.

Chahal then puts down a straightforward catch of his own bowling to give Nicholls (34) a lifeline. The ball was chipped back straight to Chahal, who got his hands to it before somehow ended up spilling it.

This has been a perfect start for New Zealand as they reach 83 for no loss in 15 overs, with Guptill on 45 from 38 balls and Nicholls on 35 from 52 balls.
