Pant, Gill hit 50s as India dominate

November 02, 2024


India 163-4 (33 ovs) vs NZ 235 | Scorecard

Phillips bowls a quiet over, conceding just two runs including a leg bye. There is a huge appeal for leg before against Pant off the last ball, as the left-hander was struck on the pads but the umpire is not interested.

Sodhi from the other end. The short ball hardly bounces as Gill who has rocked back adjusts well to swat the ball on the leg side.

Gill drives the full delivery through the covers for one and Pant keeps out the last two balls.

In the next over, Gill clips Phillips with the spin through square leg for a single.

Pant is beaten as he looks to defend but the slight turn takes the ball past the outside edge. He plays a nice front foot drive off the next but straight to the fielder in the covers and blocks the last ball.
