Bumrah's early strike boosts India

October 20, 2024


NZ 4-1 (4 ovs); Target to win: 107 | Scorecard

Bumrah starts his second over with a beauty. The full delivery swings away after pitching to beat right-hander Will Young on the defensive push.

Young gets New Zealand off the mark as he flicks the pacer square on the leg side for two runs.

Young is hit on the gloves as Bumrah gets some extra bounce on the inswinger before he digs out the full delivery straight back to the bowler and leaves the last ball.

In the next over, Conway clips the overpitched delivery from Siraj square on the leg side for a couple of runs to get off the mark.

The next ball is a cracker -- extra bounce and movement to beat Conway all ends up as he looked to defend.

He drives the fourth ball off the inside half towards midwicket before he plays a loose shot, pushing away from the body to be beaten.

A well-judged leave from Latham as he trust the bounce to leave the back of length delivery which passes over the stumps.
