New Zealand close in on victory

October 20, 2024

NZ 104-2 (27 ovs); Target to win: 107 | Scorecard

A single each to Ravindra and Young off Jadeja leaves New Zealand with just 10 runs for victory.

Ravichandran Ashwin into the attack for the first time in the New Zealand second innings, to bowl the 25th over.

Young defends the first two balls before he picks a single to long-on. Ravindra misses the sweep off the last ball and is struck on the pads as Ashwin appeals but nothing much from the others.

Jadeja bowls a quiet over as Young keeps out the first five balls before a leg bye off the last ball helps him keep strike.

Ashwin continues as Young reverse sweeps the off-spinner for a boundary, calmly finding the gap behind point to take New Zealand past 100.

He keeps strike with a single off the last ball down to long-on.
