Gill, Agarwal take India past 50

December 03, 2021 13:25

India 56-0 (20 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Spin from both ends as off-spinner William Somerville comes into the attack. Gill immediately comes down the track as he hits the first ball on the off-side for a single.

Mayank also uses his feet, to take the delivery on the full and clip it through midwicket for a couple of runs and keeps out the last two balls.

Gill doing well to keep things busy against the spinners. He hits the full delivery down to long-off for a single before Ajaz gets one to turn and bounce sharply, as Agarwal is beaten all ends up.

That was a virtually unplayable delivery, pitched around middle stump and it spun big to leave the right-hander all squared up.

In the next over, Gill hits Somerville down to long-off for a single to raise the 50-run stand in the 19th over.

Agarwal uses his feet as he fails to get to the pitch, as he ends up lofting the full delivery off the inside half of the bat past midwicket for a four.

Singles off the last two balls as seven runs come from the over.

The ball is turning quite regularly now. Gill looks to block the full delivery off the front foot, but it turns away sharply to go past the edge.

India will be happy with the good start provided by the openers, as they reach 56 for no loss in 20 overs, with both Gill and Agarwal on 28 each.
