Santner slowed it up and got the ball to spin away wide of off, Shubman Gill thought it was a long hop and tried to maul the pull leg-side. Got a faint outside edge and the keeper did the rest. Santner was very confident about the edge and went up for the review almost instantly. Lures SKY onto the front foot with a full delivery and gets enough turn off the deck to beat him all ends up on the outside edge A tame push and past the edge 3.6 Santner to Suryakumar Yadav, no run, my word!

Unlike in the ODI series, India chose the more convenient option of chasing upon winning the toss in the T20I series opener in Ranchi. India's captain Hardik ...

Pandya returns to the leadership role in the three T20Is against New Zealand, which are India’s final white-ball games of the home season with the Border Gavaskar Trophy to follow.

They began the year with a 2-1 series win over Sri Lanka under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy. And given the manner in which they have been performing of late, the Men in Blue begin the series in Ranchi as the firm favourites. India under Rohit’s leadership would pull off a similar result against the Black Caps; after surviving a scare in Hyderabad, they would pull off commanding victories in Raipur and Indore to take their ODI winning streak to seven. After a mixed end to the previous year, where they bowed out of the T20 World Cup with a humiliating loss in the semi-final and losing yet another ODI series in Bangladesh before bouncing back with a 2-0 sweep against the Shakib Al Hasan-led Tigers, the Men in Blue are off to a strong start in 2023.

CRR: 7.75. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Arshdeep Singh*, 0(6), 0, 0, 0. Umran Malik, 4(1), 1, 0, 400. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Jacob Duffy*, 3, 0, 27, 1.

We knew it was spinning in the powerplay and it was nice to chip one out. I was trying to get it to skid on a little bit (Ishan Kishan's wicket) it's one of those ones, nice to pick up a wicket early in the innings and as a bowling unit, we were able to capitalize on that start. Santner ( 4-1-11-2) was the pick of the New Zealand bowlers and the skipper was well supported by his spin partners. But it was a great game and it was pretty tight at the end, we saw a lot of runs in the ODI series and it was nice to see the ball spin a bit more. It was nice to chip away some wickets in the powerplay and we had troubled doing that in the ODIs. In an era of match ups, Santner got his spot on and India were rocked early as they were 15 for 3; Bracewell accounted for the left handed Kishan, Duffy sent back Tripathi and Santner outfoxed the right handed Gill. SKY and Hardik steadied the innings and brought India back into the contest by the halfway mark, but the pair departed in successive overs and left the lower order with too much to do. There was a little bit of moisture out there towards the end, probably not as much as we were expecting. Player of the Match: It is nice to contribute to a score which helps us win a game. It is nice to take some momentum into the rest of the T20 series. It was my job to build a partnership and then take the onus on myself after Conway's departure. India would put this as one of their off days for the batters and look to come back strongly in the next game.
