New Zealand vs India Match Stats

Shortish ball around middle, Jadeja backs away and guides it to deep point for a single.

SIX! PLUNDERED! How about that? You hit me for a six, I shall return the favour! A shorter ball, outside off, Saini backs away and slaps it over cover for half a dozen!

OUT! BOWLED! Jamieson roars. The slower ball does the trick. This was not far from being sent out of the stadium. This is on a length and Saini is ready with his pull. But the slower ball comes on late and the bat swing is already completed by then. The ball skids on and hits the leg stump. End of a sensational stand of 76 in 80 balls. Saini departs for a wonderful 45 from 49 balls. Momentum with India now. 45 from 33 balls required.

Landed outside off, short in length, played straight to point.

A short ball, down the leg side, Chahal looks to heave but misses.

Around off, watchfully defended. End of a successful over for New Zealand. But they find themselves in the scenario where they were multiple times in the T20Is. Will this be another choke?

A short ball, pulled to deep mid-wicket for a single.

A length ball outside off, Chahal swings but misses.

RUN OUT MISSED! Jadeja was a goner. Taylor fumbles under pressure. A length ball outside off, Chahal taps it towards point and sets off for a single. Jadeja knows it is a suicidal call and gives up halfway. But Taylor, in a hurry to release the ball, fumbles and misfires a bad throw. Well away even from the man who has come to backup the throw at the striker's end.

Landed outside off, tapped towards point for a run.

ANOTHER RUN OUT MISSED. Full and outside off, Chahal drives it towards mid off and takes off for the single. Colin de Grandhomme charges to the ball and has a shy at the bowler's end. Misses. Had he hit, Chahal was a goner. The fielder from mid-wicket misses the throw while backup and there are more runs available as fine leg has to get to the ball. Jadeja charges back for the overthrow but Chahal has backed up too far and cannot return!

Full and wide outside off, squeezed through the covers for one more.

Short in length around middle, Jadeja turns it through square leg and rushes back for the second run. Good running between the wickets once again.

Great running between the wickets yet again! A smart shot as well. Jamieson lands it on a length close to off, Jadeja helps it with gentle hands to mid-wicket and scampers back for the second run as the bowler himself gives the chase. Jamieson slides near the edge of the circle to field the ball and then has a shy at the bowler's end. But no harm done. FIFTY FOR JADEJA! Sir brandishes his bat like a sword to celebrate it. The job is still not done though.

Smart bowling by Jamieson! He follows the batsman down the leg side with a short of a length ball. Jadeja fails to work it away and is hit on the thigh pad. They collect a leg bye.

What a shot and what a stop in the deep! Short in length and outside off, Chahal plays a controlled pull shot over mid-wicket. It's destined to go to the fence but Chapman comes haring across to his left, dives full length and pulls it back just before the fencing. Saves two.

FOUR! Jamieson is not smart with his plans here. Bangs in a short ball outside off, Chahal picks it and cleverly tries to ramp it down to third man. The ball flies off the outside edge down to third man for a boundary. India are smelling a come from behind victory!

The batsman has flicked the ball off his pads. One run added to the total. 28 needed off 18 balls.

Spears in a very full ball on middle, Chahal defends it back to the bowler. That's more the line and length they should be bowling, particularly to the tail-enders.

Swing and a miss! Bennett offers width outside off, Chahal throws his bat at it but misses.

Yet another very full ball by Bennett. It's right in the line of the stumps and Chahal goes hard at it. The ball takes the inner half and rolls through square leg for one.

Wide! Bennett senses the batsman moving back to create room and bowls it way wide outside off. It's also outside the tramline as Jadeja reaches out and misses. The umpire stretches his arms.

Too full in length on middle, Jadeja drives it straight back and Bennett fails to stop it in his followthrough. They complete a single and Chahal shows good awareness in turning for the second in time. They have gathered two in total.

OUT! Chahal is found short! A total mix-up but Jadeja is not at fault at all. Full and wide outside off, Jadeja squeezes this through the covers. He takes the single and is happy with it. There is a slight misfield and Chahal senses that opportunity to come back for the second. But Jadeja puts his hand out and clearly yells NO. Chahal does not hear that and is halfway down the track. He has to return and by that time, Neesham returns a good throw to Latham who whips the bails off. The square leg umpire does not even refer it upstairs. Replays show that it was a close call but Chahal was short. He smiles.

A yorker around leg, Bumrah digs it out on the leg side. 23 needed off 12 balls and Jadeja should take it on himself now to finish this match.

Mishit! Neesham fires in a very full ball outside off, Jadeja winds up for a big shot but it takes the toe end of his bat and rolls in front of the keeper.

That's flirting with the tramline! A full toss this time by Neesham, outside off, Jadeja swings his bat across the line but misses.

OUT! Jadeja holes out. NEW ZEALAND TAKE THE SERIES! Neesham fails to land his attempted yorker and it's a low full toss outside off. Jadeja lines up for a big shot over long off but fails to pump it over the fielder. It falls straight down de Grandhomme's throat in the deep and NEW ZEALAND WIN BY 22 RUNS!
