New Zealand's lead goes past 200

October 18, 2024


NZ 256-7 (70 ovs) vs India 46 | Scorecard

Ravindra gets the bottom edge trying to cut Kuldeep as the ball bounces and goes between wicketkeeper Jurel's legs for a single. 

Rohit does extremely to show urgency as he rushes after the ball from slips and puts in the slide to keep it down to one.

Southee attempts the slog sweep despite fielders being placed at deep midwicket and long-on. He gets it in the gap but not enough power to clear the ropes as they get two runs courtesy of Bumrah's fumble.

Southee is hit on the pads as the leg before appeal is rejected as the ball looks to be going down.

The next ball turns the other way and Southee is beaten on the outside edge this time.

In the next over, Ravindra gives his namesake Ravindra the charge. Jadeja floats it wide as Ravindra does well to get some bat on it, slicing it over the covers for two runs and then takes one.

Southee is beaten off the last ball as he attempts to block.

Ravindra comes down the track to Kuldeep but is hit on the pads by the full delivery. He uses his feet again but this time lofts it straight down the ground for a four to bring up his fifty in some style, from 88 balls.

That boundary also takes the lead past the 200-run mark.

Ravindra on the charge again. This time he swings the spinner over midwicket for another boundary.

Southee attempts the slog sweep but is beaten before he connects next ball for a four through square leg.
