00:00Welcome to the third T20i of the IDFC First Bank T20i series, the third of five games.
00:19It's a must-win game for New Zealand and Indah fell in favor of the Indian skipper Surya Kumar Yadav who chose to field first.
00:27It's time to say good evening to Muli Karthik but first up, Indian skipper.
00:31It's game number three of the series.
00:36Straight away Harshit Rana, round the wicket, gets off the mark first for inside, the outside.
00:44But that truly belongs to Hardik Pandya.
00:49Brilliant piece of work, India have set a high standard early on in the pace yet again.
00:53I've seen it before.
01:03Beautiful, beautiful, got a hand to that.
01:07But wasn't enough, beautifully timed.
01:13Chipped in the air, but in the gap.
01:15And we'll find the boundary.
01:23More runs here, more runs.
01:26Oh, that superb effort.
01:29Kuldeep, the fielder.
01:33Saved one.
01:33To the fielder and taken.
01:39Another good catch.
01:41Ravi Bishnoi.
01:45Back in the side after nine months or so.
01:50Or rather, 11 months.
01:51And straight away contributing.
01:54This was a difficult one.
01:55Made it look easy in the end.
01:57Another wicket falls for New Zealand.
01:5913 for two.
02:00That's glorious.
02:07No need to run for that.
02:10Pull shot in itself is quite instinctive.
02:13Oh, that's hit hard.
02:14That's hit very hard.
02:20I'm serious.
02:21Oh, look at that.
02:22That shows a number of things, actually.
02:24Very unusual cricket shot.
02:26Very.
02:26It shows how hard the wicket block is around the stumps.
02:34Poundry off the last spoil.
02:36Sterling out to be such a good over.
02:38Missed game two.
02:39Back for game three.
02:40And starts with a beauty.
02:43Oh, my goodness.
02:45On the money.
02:46From Boomerat.
02:47Cleans up Tim Seifert.
02:49Well, Tim Seifert gone for 12.
02:54Three down, 34 in the sixth over.
02:59Short.
03:00And this ground is too short for that.
03:06Lucky.
03:08So lucky there.
03:09He played all over it, Mark Chapman.
03:11Still ends up getting a boundary.
03:17Go straight this time.
03:20Played it differently in the previous T20.
03:24But this time decides to go absolutely straight.
03:29Yeah, too wide.
03:31Two into his body.
03:32And that's just easy access for Mark Chapman.
03:39Slower one.
03:42And is it a six?
03:44Has it hit the boundary cushions on the full?
03:46Or is it just pitched outside?
03:48That'll be the question to the third umpire.
03:50Just give it a six.
03:55Short arm jab.
03:56And commitment from Harshit Rana.
04:00But don't think he has pulled it back.
04:02So a four.
04:03Four Glenn Phillips.
04:05He's going for four.
04:08Taken this time.
04:09Sharp catch.
04:11There was no edge of that first ball.
04:13But there is one.
04:14And it's been snappled by Sanju Sampson.
04:17So the fourth ricket is down for New Zealand.
04:20And New Zealand leaves and lose another one.
04:23They're 86 for four.
04:27Mitchell hits that flat and hard and big.
04:31The first ball is the sighter.
04:33And that's all it takes.
04:38There's the first one.
04:40There's the first one.
04:41It was a slower one from Kulde.
04:46Very good cricket from Mitchell.
04:48He had to wait.
04:50He got into that position you talked about earlier in the over.
04:52But he had to wait an eternity for the ball to arrive.
04:56And he did.
04:59Left could be out.
05:00Straight down the throat of point it is.
05:02Mitchell didn't really get momentum into his innings this time around.
05:08Tardik Tanya strikes again.
05:12Kim Kichin takes the catch quite simply.
05:15He scored 14 of eight.
05:17Strike later 175.
05:19It's 112 for five in the 15th over.
05:21Mishnoi last over.
05:24Here's a chance of another wicket.
05:26And he's got it.
05:27Mitchell has picked out the same man in the deep.
05:32And New Zealand are falling over like a deck of cards here at the moment.
05:37Playing into India's hands.
05:381-1-2 for six.
05:4448 to Phillips.
05:49Given this man a bit of a license to come into the side.
05:54He goes for four down the ground.
05:55It was quite nicely timed in the end by Mitchell Santner.
05:58Pace off.
06:03Finds a gap.
06:04Back with a point for four.
06:09Hit hard.
06:11Straight down the ground.
06:12It'll race away for four.
06:15Half an opportunity but a very difficult one.
06:171-32 for six.
06:21Cleans him up.
06:22Legs stump out of the ground.
06:24Another one for Boomer.
06:27This time it's Kyle Jamison.
06:40Ball is for two.
06:44Chance.
06:45Chance.
06:45Take him off.
06:45Gone.
06:46Gone.
06:46Great work.
06:48Kishin Kishin.
06:49With the flat throw.
06:51Boomer didn't have a lot to do but he had to take it cleanly.
06:54He's on his way.
06:56Just the 1-1-34 for eight.
07:01Oh, that's hit beautifully.
07:03Down the ground.
07:04I think it was pace off.
07:05That's a long way for Mitch Santner.
07:11High.
07:12Chance.
07:12A deep mid-wicket.
07:14Coming around.
07:15Takes the catch.
07:16The field of wealth.
07:16Tonight.
07:17Tonight.
07:19And India.
07:20And another one down now.
07:22New Zealand lose their ninth.
07:281-44 for nine.
07:29Mid-Santner.
07:3027.
07:30Oh, dear.
07:31Oh, dear.
07:35It's got away.
07:36A little touch on it from Sanju Sampson, maybe.
07:39I'm not sure whether that's been kept in either.
07:42The Yorker again.
07:43The Yorker again.
07:47It'll just be one.
07:48It's a brilliant spell from Jaspreet Boomer.
07:51Three for 17 of his four.
07:51Three for 17 of his four.
07:53And all in all.
07:55Terrific bowling performance from Team India, this evening, getting things underway in the third T20 of the series and restricting New Zealand to 153 for nine.
08:08It's a great job.
08:13Bowling, fielding, and they've restricted New Zealand having won the toss.
08:18India put New Zealand into bat and 154 is what Team India will require to take.
08:24Match number three of the series and to take the series with two games to go.
08:32Straight through.
08:33Is that early enough?
08:34I think it might be.
08:35It's first ball and Sanju Sampson has missed out three in a row.
08:40And the stumps have gone everywhere.
08:43Sanju Sampson.
08:46Pressure continues to mount, perhaps.
08:49None for one.
08:51Oh, goodness me.
08:53Here we go again.
08:59Unbelievable.
08:59Even a smile on the face of Matt Henry.
09:04Oh, my goodness me.
09:14That'll run away for four more, I would imagine, on the shortish outfield.
09:17New Zealand won't get anywhere near chasing that down.
09:22Oh.
09:23Let's go down the wicket.
09:26What's good enough for me, it is good enough for me.
09:30This bloke is unbelievable.
09:36Didn't get it perfectly.
09:38In fact, that's almost the giant miss hit in terms of what we've seen.
09:42But good enough one-handed.
09:43Super smart run-bound score.
09:48Run-bound score.
09:51T20 World Cup.
09:54Brilliant.
09:55Absolutely brilliant.
09:56It wasn't that bad a ball.
09:58But he's in such good touch.
10:00And we need a bit of help with the other side of it as well.
10:07This keeps on coming.
10:08Six to end the over.
10:09Six to end the over.
10:10So it's gone 16, 16, 17.
10:13And it's 49 for one after three.
10:15Nice feeling.
10:22Almost.
10:23Almost.
10:23It's just not going right at all, is it?
10:25There is re-signed.
10:27And re-signed.
10:28Could get a wicket.
10:34I could get a wicket.
10:35I have got a wicket.
10:37Well, the same man didn't go through and hit the thigh this time.
10:40It stayed in the hands.
10:42And New Zealand have picked up their second wicket.
10:48India has a three-three in the pool.
10:55Maybe not, too.
10:57Maybe a boundary.
10:59And a 60 for two after just four overs.
11:05That's gone.
11:06That's gone into the stands.
11:09That's six more.
11:14Chipped it.
11:15Again, making room for himself exactly what we were talking about.
11:21Oh, yes.
11:24Six more.
11:26My word, what a shot.
11:28Well, that's a gift.
11:32That's an absolute gift.
11:33Some of these guys.
11:43Second fastest 50 by an Indian.
11:4551 of just 14.
11:56Has that found the gap?
11:57Yes, it has.
11:58Effortless.
11:59Well, what do you say to that?
12:07Effortless.
12:08Absolutely effortless.
12:10That is a magnificent shot to end the over.
12:19No chance.
12:19No chance of stopping that.
12:21Hit it.
12:22Yes.
12:22No chance of stopping it.
12:23No chance of stopping it.
12:23Hit it.
12:24Hit it between them.
12:29He's just going around now.
