Munro, Guptill give NZ a quickfire start

January 24, 2020 12:57

NZ 73-0 (7 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Shami comes back for another spell as he replaces Thakur, who gave away 30 runs in his two overs.

Guptill clips the first ball through square leg for a four and then takes a quick single.

Shami tries a bouncer to Munro, who is beaten, but the umpire calls it a wide for height before the left-hander takes a single.

Shami is again penalised for another high bouncer before Guptill smartly clips a slower ball with soft hands on the leg side and rushes across for two runs.

Guptill plays a magnificent straight drive off the last ball, lofting Shami straight back over his head for a six.

New Zealand off to a flier as they race to 68 for no loss in six overs.

Guptill has stroked his way to 28 from 15 balls, while Munro has hit 34 from 21 balls.

A desperate India introduce spin in the form of leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.

Guptill hits the first ball down to long-on for one and Munro punches the next through the off-side for a couple and then tries to pull a short ball but can't find the gap.

A single to Munro as Chahal makes a tidy start, conceding just five runs in his first over.
