00:00Hello and welcome to the third T20i of the IDFC First Bank T20i series, the third of five games.
00:21It's a must-win game for New Zealand and it fell in favor of the Indian skipper Surya Kumar Yadav who chose to field first.
00:29It's time to say good evening to Muli Karthik but first up, Ian Spence.
00:33Game number three of the series.
00:38Straight away Harshit Rana, round the wicket, gets off the mark first ball.
00:42Inside, the outside.
00:46But that truly belongs to Hardeep Pandya.
00:50Brilliant piece of work, NBA have set a high standard early on in the pace yet again.
00:55I've seen it before.
01:04Beautiful, beautiful, got a hand to that.
01:08But wasn't enough. Beautifully timed.
01:14Chipped in the air, but in the gap.
01:16We'll find the boundary.
01:25More runs here, more runs.
01:28Oh, that superb effort.
01:30Kuldeep the fielder.
01:34Saved one.
01:35To the fielder and taken.
01:40Another good catch.
01:42Ravi Bishnoi.
01:47Back in the side after nine months or so.
01:51Or rather, eleven months.
01:53And straight away contributing.
01:55This was a difficult one.
01:56Made it look easy in the end.
01:58Another wicket falls for New Zealand.
02:00Thirteen for two.
02:07That's glorious.
02:08No need to run for that.
02:11Pull shot in itself is quite instinctive.
02:15That's hit hard.
02:16That's hit very hard.
02:17Oh, I'm serious.
02:22Oh, look at that.
02:23That shows a number of things actually.
02:26Very unusual cricket shot.
02:27Very.
02:28It shows how hard the wicket block is around the stumps.
02:35Poundry off the last ball.
02:37Sterning out to be such a good over.
02:38Missed game two.
02:40Back for game three.
02:41And starts with a beauty.
02:43Oh, my goodness.
02:45On the money.
02:47From Boomerat.
02:49Cleans up Tim Seifert.
02:51Well, Tim Seifert.
02:53Gone for twelve.
02:56Three down, thirty four in the sixth over.
03:00Short.
03:02And this ground is too short for that.
03:03Lucky.
03:05So lucky there.
03:07He played all over it.
03:08Mark Chapman.
03:10Still ends up getting a boundary.
03:14Goes straight this time.
03:16Played it differently in the previous T20.
03:19But this time decides to go absolutely straight.
03:24Yeah, too wide.
03:26It's too wide.
03:28It's too wide.
03:29Two into his body.
03:31And that's just easy access for Mark Chapman.
03:33Slower one.
03:35And is it a six?
03:37Has it hit the boundary cushions on the full?
03:38Or is it just pitched outside?
03:39That'll be the question to the third umpire.
03:40Just give it a six.
03:42Short arm jab.
03:43And commitment from Harshit Rana.
03:44But don't think he has pulled it back.
03:45So a four.
03:46Four Glenn Phillips.
03:47He's going for four.
03:49Taken this time.
03:50Sharp catch.
03:51There was no one.
03:52One.
03:53One.
03:54One.
03:55One.
03:56One.
03:57One.
03:58One.
03:59One.
04:00One.
04:01One.
04:02One.
04:03One.
04:04One.
04:05One.
04:06One.
04:07One.
04:08One.
04:09One.
04:10One.
04:11One.
04:12Four.
04:13One.
04:14Two.
04:15One.
04:16One.
04:17Two.
04:18One.
04:19Two.
04:21Two.
04:22And Groenville.
04:23One.
04:25He is the one.
04:26One.
04:27Three.
04:28One.
04:29One.
04:30One.
04:31Two.
04:32Three.
04:33One.
04:34Two.
04:35One.
04:36One.
04:38One.
04:39Two.
04:40One.
04:41One.
04:42There is the first one. It was a slower one from Koldy.
04:48Very good cricket from Mitchell. He had to wait.
04:51He got into that position you talked about earlier in the over,
04:54but he had to wait an eternity for the ball to arrive, and he did.
05:01Left could be out. Straight down the throw to point it is.
05:04Mitchell didn't really get momentum into his innings this time around.
05:08He scored 14 of 8. Strike later, 175. It's 112 for 5 in the 15th over.
05:26Here's a chance of another wicket, and he's got it!
05:29Mitchell 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,
05:38playing into India's hands.
05:451-1-2 for 6, 48 to Phillips.
05:53This man a bit of a license to come into the side.
05:56He goes for 4 down the ground.
05:57And it was quite nicely timed in the end by Mitchell Santner.
06:04Pace off. Finds a gap. Back with a point for 4.
06:11Hit hard.
06:13Break down the ground. It'll race away for 4.
06:16Half an opportunity, but a very difficult one.
06:19On 32 for 6.
06:23Cleans him up. Leg stump out of the ground.
06:25Another one for Bumra.
06:29And this time it's Kyle Jamison.
06:42Ball is for 2.
06:46Chance, chance. Take him off. Gone. Gone.
06:49Great work.
06:50Kishin Kishin.
06:51With the flat throw.
06:52Bumra didn't have a lot to do, but he had to take it cleanly.
06:56He's on his way.
06:58Just the 1-1-34 for 8.
07:03Oh, that's hit beautifully.
07:05Down the ground.
07:06I think it was pace off.
07:07That's a long way for Mitch Santner.
07:09High.
07:13Chance at deep mid-wicket.
07:16Coming around.
07:17Takes the catch.
07:17The field of well tonight.
07:20And for India.
07:22And another one down now.
07:24New Zealand lose their night.
07:251-4-4 for 9.
07:31Mid-Santner 27.
07:36Oh, dear.
07:37He's got away.
07:38A little touch on it from Sandju Sampson, maybe.
07:42I'm not sure whether that's been kept in either.
07:44That's for the Yorker again.
07:49It'll just be one.
07:50It's a brilliant spell from Jaspreet Bumra.
07:533-17 of his four.
07:56And all in all, terrific bowling performance from Team India this evening.
08:01Getting things underway in the third.
08:04T20 of the series.
08:06And restricting New Zealand to 153 for 9.
08:10Great job.
08:16Bowling, fielding.
08:17And they've restricted New Zealand having won the toss.
08:20India put New Zealand into bat.
08:22And 154 is what Team India will require to take match number three of the series
08:28and to take the series with two games to go.
08:34Straight through.
08:35Is that early enough?
08:36I think it might be.
08:37It's first ball.
08:38And Sandju Sampson has missed out three in a row.
08:42And the stumps have gone everywhere.
08:45Sandju Sampson.
08:47Pressure continues to mount, perhaps.
08:50None for one.
08:53Oh, goodness me.
08:55Here we go again.
08:56Unbelievable.
09:01Even a smile on the face of Matt Henry.
09:05Oh, my goodness me.
09:15That'll run away for four more, I would imagine, on the shortish outfield.
09:19New Zealand won't get anywhere near chasing that down.
09:21Oh, let's go down the wicket.
09:27What's good enough for me, it is good enough for me.
09:32This bloke is unbelievable.
09:37Didn't get it perfectly.
09:39In fact, that's almost the giant miss hit in terms of what we've seen.
09:44But good enough one-handed.
09:49Super smart.
09:50One-bounce score.
09:53T20 World Cup.
09:56Brilliant.
09:57Absolutely brilliant.
09:58It wasn't that bad a ball.
09:59But he's in such good touch.
10:05And we need a bit of help with the other side of it as well.
10:09This keeps on coming.
10:11Six to end the over.
10:12So it's gone 16, 16, 17.
10:15And it's 49 for one after three.
10:22Nice feeling.
10:23Almost.
10:25Almost.
10:25It's just not going right at all, is it?
10:27There is re-signed and re-signed.
10:34Could get a wicket.
10:35I could get a wicket.
10:36I have got a wicket.
10:39Well, the same man didn't go through and hit the thigh this time.
10:42It stayed in the hands.
10:44And New Zealand have picked up their second wicket.
10:49India are 53 in the pool.
10:51Maybe not too.
10:59Maybe a boundary.
11:01And a 60 for two after just four overs.
11:04And that's gone.
11:08That's gone into the stands.
11:11That's six more.
11:16Chipped it.
11:17Again making room for himself exactly what we were talking about.
11:20Oh, yes.
11:26Six more.
11:28My word.
11:29What a shot.
11:32Well, that's a gift.
11:34That's an absolute gift.
11:37Some of these guys.
11:38Second fastest 50 by an Indian.
11:4851 of just 14.
11:58Has that found the gap?
11:59Yes, it has.
12:03Well, what do you say to that?
12:04Effortless.
12:10Absolutely effortless.
12:13That is a magnificent shot to Nd over.
12:20No chance.
12:21No chance of stopping that.
12:26It is between them.
12:31He's just going around now.
12:32Square on the offside this time.
12:39Downtown.
12:43Wow, six more.
12:4417 from that over.
12:51That's four more.
12:52Drag down from Santner.
12:58Swift fine.
13:00And is it fine enough?
13:01If it is, beats Conway.
13:06Downtown he goes for a maximum.
13:11Use of the feet and timing again from the skipper.
13:18Mid-wicket.
13:19And just chalk up half a dozen more.
13:24Shy of a half century.
13:26And that will be another one for him for this time.
13:32Back-to-back half centuries for Surya Kumar Yadav.
13:42Finds the gap for four more and that'll do it.
13:44Dominance from India once again.
13:47And they have absolutely demolished New Zealand here.
13:52Iguati this evening.
13:54Ten overs on the dot.
13:57To chase down 154.
14:01And led beautifully by Abhishek Sharma.
14:05And Surya Kumar Yadav with back-to-back 50s.
14:07Dangerous signs for the rest of the world when he finds four along with the others.
14:13Superb performance.
14:16So New Zealand only able to post 153 for nine in their 20 overs.
14:21Phillips just a couple short of the half century.
14:22Fumara and Vishnoy.
14:24Five for 35 between them.
14:27Were brilliant with the ball.
14:29Hardik was good as well.
14:31To a man I think in the field.
14:32India were exceptional tonight.
14:35155 for two in reply.
14:37With Abhishek, Surya Kumar and Isshin Kishin.
14:41And India winning by eight wickets.
14:43The series sits at 3-0 in favour of the hosts.
14:52Back in Turkey.
