Conway, Young steady New Zealand

October 20, 2024

NZ 21-1 (10 ovs); Target to win: 107 | Scorecard

Conway has struggled against the two pacers. This time he plays another loose, looking to drive Bumrah through the covers but is beaten on the outside edge.

The next ball is again full and wide and this time Conway drives it off the front foot with some nice timing through the covers for a four.

Bumrah beats him again with some extra bounce and away movement followed by a leave.

Conway is completely opened up as he looks to flick Bumrah as the ball goes off the outside half along the ground past Jadeja at point for the second four of the over.

Three boundaries in seven balls helped New Zealand release some pressure.

How long before spinners are introduced? Meanwhile, Siraj continues as Young continues to be solid with his defence as he keeps out the first two balls followed by a leave.

New Zealand are 21/1 in 10 overs, needing another 86 for victory.
