Ashwin strikes; NZ lose 1st wicket

June 23, 2021 20:51

NZ 42-1 (16 ovs); Target to win: 139 | Scorecard

Bumrah switches to round the wicket. The first ball is down the leg side as the ball goes off Conway's pads and wicketkeeper Pant takes a diving catch to his right. He appeals for the catch down the leg side but no one else is interested.

He taps the next ball to point and takes a quick single as Williamson makes his ground despite the direct hit from Jadeja.

Williamson taps Bumrah on the off-side for a single to get off the mark. Conway continues his good form as he pulls the short ball from the pacer behind square for a four.

Bumrah gets the next ball to rise sharply as Conway is hit on the gloves as he comes forward to defend.

In the next over, Ashwin makes the big breakthrough in the form of Williamson, who is given out leg before wicket trying to sweep.

He is ruled out LBW by the on-field umpire as he decides to take the review.

And Williamson escapes narrowly as the ball tracker shows the ball is missing the leg stump!

The last ball is short as Williamson slaps it through the covers for three runs.
