Williamson hits fifty to keep NZ in the hunt

January 29, 2020 15:27

NZ 114-3 (14 ovs) vs India 179-5 | Scorecard

Shami is back into the attack. Williamson nudges the first ball on the leg side for a couple before he slashes a short wide delivery over thirdman for a six. He then punches another short ball through the covers but this time just for a single.

A single each to Williamson and de Grandhomme before the former walks across and pulls a slower ball behind square on the leg side for a four.

That boundary helps Williamson race to his fifty from just 28 balls.

New Zealand are 114 for three in 14 overs, needing 66 from six overs for victory at an asking rate of 11.
