00:00India take on New Zealand at the Shaheed VN Singh International Cricket Stadium here.
00:06India won the toss and they decided that they would field first.
00:10He did say at the toss, Udyakumar Yadda, that he started to see a little bit of dew early on.
00:15The odd man out is actually Zach Falks who comes into the team
00:19but is the only member of that 11 who is not in the World Cup squad.
00:23Couple of changes made by India, one force because Akshay Padil had an injury to the fingertip,
00:29but especially his bowling finger.
00:47Arsdeep Singh coming running at him.
00:52And once again there's a play and miss early on.
00:57Fine space on the offside.
00:59The ball will reach the boundary.
01:04Not sure this was hit as well.
01:08But it'll still go for four.
01:12Now this will go way beyond the boundary.
01:15These are bigger boundaries here.
01:20He's got to beat the man inside the circle as well.
01:22This is a mammoth over for New Zealand.
01:27Four.
01:31He needs to clear the field of which he does easily for four.
01:37This time one bounce.
01:39Four.
01:41Through the offside for four.
01:43There's just runs everywhere.
01:44There isn't a part of the ground they're not accessing.
01:49And he plays it fine.
01:50This isn't great bowling, I'm afraid.
01:54Straight up.
01:56This should be taken.
01:58A little bubble, but eventually it's in the hands.
02:01Once again, Harshit Rana shows the number four.
02:06Devon Conway's got to go back.
02:10Up.
02:11Very high.
02:12And very well taken.
02:18Ishan Kishin.
02:19Seifert.
02:20Gone for 24 of 13.
02:24Oh, crunch down the ground from Ratchin Ravendra.
02:31Oh, Hammond through the offside.
02:33That is a shot of high class from Ratchin Ravendra.
02:39Midwicket.
02:39That is huge.
02:40It's into the crowd, that one.
02:47Wow.
02:4891.
02:48Put another...
02:49Oh, put another three on that.
02:51That's 96.
02:54Doesn't bother.
02:56Does not bother.
02:58Oh, 92 metres.
02:59That one.
03:03We've seen some big hits.
03:05We've seen some big overs.
03:09Oh, four.
03:11But there's very little you can do as a bowler.
03:13You didn't do too much wrong.
03:14You...
03:18Jeez, hit that ball so well.
03:22Miss it.
03:23There's a fielder underneath.
03:25Takes the catch.
03:27It's all or nothing today.
03:28Dwayne Phillips for 19, 98 for three.
03:31We're in a 45.
03:34Oh, brilliant, four.
03:39And again.
03:41Maybe just a little too full in that hitting arc.
03:47Flat bat.
03:48We've seen some shots today, but this is quite unique.
03:56It's taking face off.
03:57He might have put that in the gap, actually.
04:02Straight up.
04:03Straight up.
04:04Hardik Pandya takes another catch.
04:07One, two, five for four.
04:12Another one gone.
04:14New Zealand are crumbling here, and that's a big one.
04:17Chasing a wide, Ratchan Ravindra.
04:19Refine, 44.
04:20Gone wide of the man, just up inside the circle.
04:32Beautifully timed by Santner.
04:37That's gone straight up.
04:41And the catch will be taken.
04:43The struggle for him tonight.
04:45161 for six.
04:47Seem happy with the world.
04:48Just need to clear the infield.
04:51He clears it beautifully, in fact.
04:52Goes all the way.
04:56Just over.
04:58The fielder was on the boundary.
05:00Treat.
05:03But the ball is short.
05:06Come on ahead.
05:12It's called for two, he gets four.
05:16Overcover for four.
05:18Oh, fine.
05:21It was a good ball, actually.
05:23But he's just dug it out.
05:29Well, how far has it gone?
05:31Fielder there.
05:33Goes over.
05:37Does that again.
05:38And he finds the gap.
05:39And he's told Santner, don't worry about me.
05:41I'll give you a six and a four at the end.
05:4317 came off it.
05:46And New Zealand have posted a very good score.
05:48208 for six.
05:49Off 20 overs.
05:51Well, it's really good.
05:53In the end.
05:54209 to get.
05:55It's still a tall order.
05:57But it's gettable in the conditions we believe.
05:5915 runs short in the end.
06:01Because they lost key batters.
06:03And batters you would expect to be there at the end.
06:05Now that's where a good start.
06:07So, so required for India.
06:17Nicely goal.
06:21Flicks it.
06:22Off his pads.
06:23Doesn't get the distance.
06:24Oh, no.
06:25That's a big mistake.
06:30Toe end of the bat.
06:31Toe end of the bat.
06:32Makes no mistake.
06:33Rush in Ravindra.
06:35And finally.
06:36The wicket of Sanju Sampson falls.
06:41No, he doesn't.
06:42But he chips it.
06:43Back to the fielder.
06:45And Conway, this time, will make no mistake.
06:48And this is trouble for India.
06:50Oh, goes down the ground.
06:55That's powerfully hit.
07:00That's nicely placed.
07:02Should get another boundary here.
07:07Oh, that's gone a long way.
07:08That's gone a very long way.
07:14It's in the air, but in the gap.
07:17Will he stop it?
07:18Will he get there?
07:19No, he won't.
07:19Top effort, though.
07:21Flyer here.
07:22Vishen Kishen.
07:24Oh, that's a glorious set.
07:29Swings hard.
07:36This is easier, though.
07:38All the really slow, wide one.
07:42Flyers it, but it's quicker.
07:44It's into the surface.
07:45And Vishen Kishen has pounced all over it.
07:47Oh, a shot.
07:53Timing, placement.
07:55Just sheer elegance.
07:58This one's swung.
08:01Through the onside.
08:05Just over.
08:07It's his day.
08:08And he'll get a 50.
08:09He'll get a 50 in just 21 balls.
08:12The fastest by an Indian against New Zealand.
08:18Making full use of this.
08:24Four more.
08:25Now on the boundary, but well over.
08:32Very light overs.
08:35Fielder will watch it sail over.
08:40That'll clear the fielder inside the circle.
08:42And now there's boundaries coming at both ends.
08:50Sensible, smart, and very nicely done by Surya Kumariadha.
08:58That's another speciality from him.
09:00Outside edge.
09:05Pick outside edge.
09:09Oh, beautiful.
09:11This is such a good shot.
09:12This is the Surya Kumar of old.
09:18Take six.
09:22Top edge.
09:23Who wants it?
09:24And it's taken.
09:28Matt Henry, the catcher.
09:30And this fine innings from Gishan Kishan comes to an end.
09:37Brilliant.
09:41Oh, I thought it was flying over the boundary.
09:46Oh, well-deserved 50.
09:48After 23 innings and 468 days,
09:53the skipper hits a half century.
09:56And it's his 22nd half century in this format.
10:02Points the gap.
10:04Ariel.
10:06It kept Midoff interested.
10:10That is in his wheelhouse.
10:13And that is only going one way.
10:18Clean timing again.
10:24Straight up.
10:25And long enough.
10:26Into his preferred area.
10:32There's a field there.
10:33He won't get there.
10:37Miss it.
10:39Foot down.
10:43Is this bad, all right?
10:46It's better than all right.
10:48You've got to give credit to the batter here.
10:53I think he intended to play it there.
10:59Straight down the ground.
11:00There was nobody there.
11:02One bounce into the boundary for four.
11:06And then it has been nothing but mayhem.
11:09Another long one.
11:12Into the stands.
11:15Come to win.
11:15It's been a run chase to remember.
11:20A template to follow.
11:23And nothing short of mesmerizing this run chase.
11:26As India win by seven wickets.
11:32And 28 balls to spare.
11:34Chasing 2-0-9.
11:38It's been a run chase and a half.
11:40A lot of positives for India.
11:42As a skipper lead this run chase.
11:45And staying unbeaten on 82.
11:48Contributions from Dubai as well.
11:49And the rest of the world.
11:51And the rest of the world.
