Young, Mitchell revive New Zealand

November 02, 2024

NZ 89-3 (25 ovs) & 235 vs India 263 | Scorecard

Young looking quite solid. After defending for most part of his innings so far, he goes after Jadeja lofting the spinner straight back over his head for a six.

He takes a single to long-off before Mitchell drives the next through the covers for two runs and keeps strike with one from the last ball.

India will be keen to break this partnership, which is shaping up to be quite threatening for their hopes.

The pitch seems to have eased out in the last 30 minutes and not many deliveries from the spinners are troubling the batters.

Mitchel clips Ashwin to midwicket for one before Young easily keeps out the last five balls of the over.

In the next over, Mitchell is beaten as he attempts to sweep Jadeja with the ball turning away sharply along with extra bounce.

He pushes the next through the covers for one and Young takes a single off the next.

Mitchell drives the last ball through the covers for a couple of runs.
