Latham, Young steady New Zealand

November 01, 2024


NZ 37-1 (10 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

A quiet over from Akash Deep as Latham picks a single off the second ball while Young keeps out the next few balls. He clips the last ball through square leg for a couple of runs.

Spin introduced early as Ravichandran Ashwin comes into the attack, to bowl the ninth over.

The first ball is short as Latham punches it past midwicket for a single. The next ball goes straight on as right-hander Young playing for the turn is beaten on the outside edge.

Young does well to play late and watchfully defend the rest of the over. Some sharp turn for Ashwin as the right-hander comes forward to defend but it goes off the inside edge past short leg.

Akash Deep continues from the other end. Latham keeps the scoreboard ticking along as he clips the pacer on the leg side for a single, to take his score to 20.

Young cashes in as Akash Deep gives width, steering it behind point for a four. The last ball is again short and wide as Young slaps it point for another boundary.

New Zealand have progressed well to reach 37/1 in 10 overs, with Latham on 20 and Young on 11.
