00:00this is the first of five t20 internationals from the 7th of february the world cup this is the time
00:19for rehearsals before the main act begins we are coming to live from the vca stadium here in
00:25now just a couple of years ago this surface was really there hasn't been a t20 international
00:29here with santner won the toss and he decided that he would bowl first so india will be batting first
00:37but it's right or no there was a huge cheer and it's time to say good evening to ian smith and
00:43sunil gavaska first ball coming up
00:46team that scores quicker than anybody else in the power play against a team that bolts
00:55magnificently in the power play straight up that's the way he plays establishing his presence
01:04he's marked his territory jameson the full shot straight away sandhu samson says i'm here too
01:17over midwicket a couple of bounces and another boundary
01:23holes in the air straight to midwicket chipset power elegance but not longevity
01:29well that's an interesting dismissal that for me because i thought that ball was there to hit as
01:33well as fuller because he'd been pulled twice on the over 18 for one sandhu samson goes for 10.
01:41again for jameson with the new ball goes straight back past the baller
01:47into the boundary so what an event for the over 14 of it and a wicket
01:53oh shot arm this is a serious shot don't think it was short enough
01:59taking that shot cover there's a little bit of everything and this game is moving so quickly
02:08another wicket goes down it's 27 for two and it's ishan kitchen yeah well they're going to keep playing
02:14this way india they'll score runs quickly but for how long he's gone for 8 27 for two
02:25starts off with the boundary and it'll be happy it's front of the wicket on the offside
02:34finds the gap on the offside too check out this outfield he's a good fielder and he's beaten
02:39and it's four jameson pace off and just pumped down the ground again from abhishek sharma
02:50six more very good evening to deep and carpet
02:56oh over the wicket this time and goes the distance again from abhishek
03:02he deals in boundaries and most of the maximums
03:09the man that has come in was not quite in that direction but not far away from it it's gone all
03:14the way oh that's lovely that is the sky of old a little flick leg side
03:23three or four wickets for race santa as well this is nicely placed we waited on it and got the gap
03:34apart for a four
03:41oh no watch the spin watch the spin christian clark out there
03:47have another go to your right christian you won't catch that one either that is beautifully timed
03:58this time christian oh no no no no that one's gone straight through the hands and they are telling
04:11them all about it as well
04:19seventh international t20 half century for abhishek sharma it's been brutal again tonight
04:26become so used to seeing this from this talented young left-hander
04:30and that's how he signs his name in t20 griget
04:37just couldn't catch up with it devon conway
04:44just one place that ball is going and that is in the stands
04:48plays the shot plays the shot that it is trademark that's how he signs his name in t20 cricket
05:03oh he's put that in the cap as well now this is extraordinary timing
05:12well before that they've got to handle this young man
05:14field run long gone pretended to be interested
05:25now has he hit it well enough yes he has it's tim robinson
05:3332 to surya kumaryadav but a good over from mid-sat that finally produces a wicket
05:38good hand of 32 of 22 deliveries one twenty six for three in the 11th hole
05:49the back past the baller in the gap before both the umpire and the ball had done a very good job of
05:57getting out of line usodi
05:59and for a change it bounces once inside the ground 171
06:11down the over again slices it but field are interested oh it might just have
06:16might just have fallen on the cushion it's a fantastic effort from daryl mitchell on the boundary
06:22eight six push the boundaries back
06:36go through this time fielder might come underneath it
06:39it's a brilliant show but it's over abhishek sharma 84 of 34 balls he's taken india to 149 in 12 overs
06:50and it hasn't stopped no way it has that was only about eight feet off the ground but so quick
07:11crunch by dubai and that's over the top as well
07:14the timing on everyone that's gone out there
07:23should be out is out the simplest of court and bowls
07:27so new zealand strike again there's still quite a lot of overs to be batted here
07:32new zealand keep chipping away but it's costing them
07:34going for nine or four and yeah 166 for fave
07:43now he crashes him through over extra cover for four
07:48that's a big piece of wood
07:52there he comes and there he goes straight down the ground for six
07:56i don't think he'll be holding back something's going to happen you know that there it is
08:02you just know it got him just inside he's not a very tall guy
08:09as mark chapman but tall enough there you just felt something was going to explode that ball
08:15hardik pandya it's gone for 25 185 for six
08:23oh lovely shot
08:26we've seen some breathtaking batting today we've seen 17 4s and 11 sixes
08:32oh not a good ball not a good ball at all because fine leg was up 200 comes up
08:43sixes 17 4s 18 4s how quickly did that go to the boundary
08:54all right catchable catchable the catch is taken
08:57akshar was looking to go wide off the field there
09:04another pace of delivery gets a wicket and india seven down with 13 balls to come
09:12patel goes for five it is 209 for seven
09:17he does
09:21and finds the boundary
09:27wrinkle goes hard straight doesn't matter
09:30you can have 10 outside the circle nine outside the circle if he's gonna hit a six
09:37goes big this time well over mid wicket
09:42the only catchers in this stadium at the moment are in the stands
09:46more than before he tried to surprise him with a slow bouncer
09:59he does he finds he doesn't get it off the middle of the bat but the fielder had come in
10:03and that'd be enough to get to the boundary wrinkle finishes with a flourish
10:06india finished 238 for seven it's india's highest against new zealand and you've got to believe
10:15when you make 238 it's enough but you never know in this game 21 of the last over
10:21and so what a job new zealand have 239 to get sometimes when you've got a score like that
10:27he just takes all the thinking out and say go boom boom boom we've got quite a game on our hands
10:40even conway thinks it's wide but quite clearly passing inside the red line
10:47edge and gone what a great catch to begin with the worst
10:50possible start from new zealand's point of view and that is a screamer to begin with
10:57and that's an unbelievable catch
11:02as new zealand lose their first devon convey gone without scoring zero for one
11:08well that's close that's really really close is a missing leg is it missing leg
11:17edge and another one goes disaster for new zealand this and india are at the peak of their powers
11:24it's the pressure the pressure of the asking rate new zealand have lost their second wicket
11:35that of the chin ravinda gone for just one it's one for two
11:39up and over is it maybe not could it be a chance oh wow just out of the reach just out of the reach
11:51of the captain running back
11:54in desperate need of a partnership and some boundaries and this may well be the first of them
11:59for tim robinson back that's phillips
12:06got to go this is a chance oh boy
12:11he shouldn't kishin there with the quick hands the quick feet
12:16straight down the ground that's a lovely shot from phillips for six first one of the innings
12:22just brought third man up actually he may have been in business there he may be a little wide but
12:31that's a bonus
12:34that's a lovely shot really good adjustment there as he went into the body robinson did very very well
12:41nice shot and brilliantly fielded is it no it's not just gets away from the sprawl of ishan kishan out
12:53there he did his very best
12:58lovely the timing again superb picked up the slow ball very quickly
13:03well we can't do anything about this one because it is hit so clean
13:15straight two shot mid-wicket absolutely no timing on that
13:21it's a gap for four it's a good shot from chapman
13:39to fall that time and phillips goes bang
13:44over long on for six he needs to get going
13:47oh and he will a little bit of good fortune that'll spin away for four
14:00push for two but i don't think so a chance chance of the keeper's dead god no sanju
14:06that was rinku sing that was a brilliant piece of fielding there was never two
14:10even for someone the pace of glenn phillips and sanju sampson has taken his eye off the ball
14:15terrific atmosphere tonight and just wide of the man at deep backward square boundary
14:24off the last ball of the 10th over from shibam dubai so 10 runs coming from it
14:31straight up the slower ball rinku sing underneath it settles and drops it
14:39looked like he was so comfortable underneath that rinku sing and it's just spilt out of the hands
14:45clever but uh there is protection down in the deep half century for glenn phillips
14:58and good one at a good pace as well
15:00oh sounded so good that is second tier at least isn't it that's big that is really big and he likes it too glenn phillips
15:14pulled powerfully for six more i think yes so they are finding some boundaries in this over off
15:20shivam dubai much needed
15:25oh he's connected again glenn phillips is not just hitting sixes he's hitting monsters
15:36goes over cover beats the fielder for four phillips is keeping new zealand in this game
15:41among the best shots today going over cover not as mammoth a six as some others
15:56it's taken it is taken it was low and in front of him but shivam dubai completed the catch
16:04and glenn phillips is out after and a scintillating innings it's a brilliant innings actually a really
16:12good innings and by normal standards chasing a regulation total it could have been a match winning
16:18engines ensure the end of phillips and new zealand at 131 for four one over 17
16:24singles not going to help either 133 for four 130 136 now that's what they need from chapman
16:37now that they've lost phillips chapman's got to take the lead here and he's done it before
16:44oh it's gone straight up
16:49takes the catch this is abhishek sharma
16:54and the gamble with bowling varun chakravarti out has worked he's picked up a second wicket
17:02the chapman good innings of 39 of 24 it's five down 143
17:10got a hand to it he'll still go for fours hit firmly
17:17up and over the top from mitchell he was batting out of his crease ashti dropped it short
17:24beautifully played that is wonderful batting from mitchell really skillful
17:30hit powerfully from santner oh brilliant fielding and it's only just i think on a dribble in
17:41just dribbled into the boundary it was almost outstanding
17:48or more really good shot again from santner whose batting has improved out of sight with confidence he's
17:56always been a good striker oh that was well played in the end
18:01could be out this time could be out done it again
18:07ishan kishan this time there's something about that position in the field
18:17might not carry this time won't carry and this time the hands are safe
18:22the snow is the fielder the substitute fielder on for akshar patel takes a really fine
18:30running catch with the boundary and carl mitchell gone for 28 of 18 using 189 for six
18:40crunches it straight down the middle on and this time rink whose hands are safe
18:47so the surprise death bowler is on a hat trick
18:54dawn of the very first ball new zealand 189 percent last ball of this match
19:02smashed down the long off for a single and that is as conclusive as you can get india go one
19:13miller from the series i won't say a perfect performance there were some blemishes in the field
19:18but aside from that they did most things very well
19:25238 for seven from their 20 overs outstanding effort and let's not forget the effort of the captain too
19:33coming into this particular series down on form there were some good signs there to build from
19:39new zealand in reply 190 for seven and they're winning game one 48 runs the margin four games to go though
