Ashwin strikes; NZ lose early wkt

December 05, 2021 15:06

NZ Inns 2: 29-1 (11 ovs); Target: 540 | Scorecard

Young looks to heave Ashwin over midwicket but gets a thick inside edge which goes behind square on the leg side for a four.

This is a big risk, to take chances against someone like Ashwin especially when you are batting for survival.

Young learns from his mistake as he watchfully keeps out the rest of the over.

Siraj continues as Mitchell drives a full delivery off the front foot, back past the fielder at silly mid-off for a four.

He confidently plays out the rest of the over, as Siraj does well to make the batsmen play with full length deliveries on the stumps.

Axar Patel comes in place of Siraj. Mitchell comes down the track to the second ball, as he lofts it over mid-on for a four.

He then slaps a short delivery past the fielder in the covers for a couple of runs.

The last ball turns sharply as Mitchell gets the edge but it flies wide of the slips for a single.
