Jadeja, Ashwin leave NZ in a mess!

November 02, 2024

NZ 170-8 (42 ovs) & 235 vs India 263 | Scorecard

Jadeja continues as Matt Henry hits the first ball uppishly to long-off for a single. The next ball spins sharply and also bounces quite a lot but down the leg side to left-hander Ajaz Patel. Wicketkeeper Pant again is late with the gloves to concede four byes.

Ajaz clips the next ball for a single on the leg side to get off the mark.

Henry has a big swing across the line but is beaten before he makes good connection to launch the next ball straight down the ground for a six.

Ashwin didn't bowl a single carrom ball in the first 25 overs he bowled in the match. In the last four overs, he bowled four carrom balls, out of which two of them resulted in wickets.

Ashwin in a good rhythm. Ajaz is beaten first ball before he leaves the next. He plays and misses third ball going for a big swing over midwicket as Ashwin gets it to turn sharply.

The fourth ball is pitched up and this time Ajaz blocks it right under his eyes.

Ajaz makes good connection as he sweeps Ashwin over square leg for a six

Jadeja from the other end. Henry swings and misses before he flicks the next for a single to deep midwicket. 

Ajaz comes forward to defend and looks to have been struck on the pads but there seems to be some bat on it. The bowler and keeper appeal but it is clearly bat first.

Ajaz is given out caught at short leg but he decides to take the review.

The ball has missed the bat and there is nothing on the UltraEdge as the decision is overturned.
