NZ lose both openers; India on top

January 29, 2020 15:06

NZ 78-2 (10 ovs) vs India 179-5 | Scorecard

Part-time medium pacer Shivam Dube comes into the attack as Kohli looks to send down a few overs of his fifth bowler with two new batsmen out in the middle.

But New Zealand are up to the task as Santner pulls a short ball over square leg for a four.

Two balls later, Williamson picks up a full delivery off his pads over fine leg for a six as Dube goes for 14 in his first over.

Jadeja not giving anything away. He gives away just five runs in his second over, including a leg bye as he keeps things tight from his end.

Bumrah is back into the attack. He is unlucky not to get the wicket of Santner (8) as he gets the leading edge and Jadeja at point puts down the easiest of catches.

Williamson then opens the face of the bat at the last minute and steers Bumrah fine on the off-side for a four.

At the halfway stage, New Zealand have reached 79 for two in 10 overs. They need another 101 runs from 10 overs for victory at 10.1 per over.
