IND vs NZ 1st T20I Live Score - Nagpur (21 January 2026)

Slightly wayward from Singh first up. He drifts down leg in search of swing but the ball stays within the new guideline for wide on the leg side. Conway gets on his toes to flick it away but misses.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A stunner from Sanju Samson. Devon Conway departs for a two-ball duck. Full and moving away in the air. Conway extends his hands away from his body and goes hard on the lofted drive on the off side. The ball takes the outside edge and it loops behind towards the keeper. Samson dives to his left and sticks out his left glove to hold onto a fine catch.

On a length, outside off, Rachin reaches out and cracks the drive but picks out the man at point.

Inswinger attempted by Arshdeep, on a good length, outside off. Ravindra pushes hard at the ball. The ball goes off the outside edge down to deep third for a single.

Rapped on the pads! A prolonged appeal from Arshdeep Singh but turned down. Suryakumar Yadav has a word with the bowler and the keeper. He takes the review just before the timer runs out. Is it doing too much? The first replay does seem to indicate so. Pitched up by Arshdeep from over the wicket, Robinson stays rooted to the crease and brings his bat out in front for the flick. He is beaten on the inside edge and wears it on the front pad. No bat involved but the Ball Tracking has the ball swinging beyond the leg pole. India burn an early review.

Keeps it nice and full, on middle. Tim brings his wrists into play and works it to mid-wicket.

A gentle outswinger at 128 kph, on a good length, punched on the up to cover without much timing.

Another one that leaves the left-hander, on a nagging length, Ravindra tries to hit this one on the rise but mistimes it to mid off.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Hardik strikes from the other end and backs up what Arshdeep did in the first over. Angling away again, on a back of a length, on middle. Ravindra uses his feet this time but is nowhere near the pitch of it. He pushes hard at the ball to force it down the ground. Gets an outside edge and it is snaffled by Abhishek Sharma to his left at slip. New Zealand are 1/2, chasing 239.

Fuller and on middle, Phillips taps it in front mid on and steals a quick single from Arshdeep Singh, who is caught on his heels.

A bit of hesitation but no harm done. Keeps the stumps in play, does Hardik, on off, Robinson dabs it towards cover and wants to sneak in a single but Phillips is not interested and he sends Tim back. It was the right call as Rinku was quick to get to the ball.

Just out of reach! Pandya drags the length back, on off, Robinson stays put in the crease and swings through the line. Skies it off the bottom half of the blade but he gets enough bat on it to evade the backtracking Suryakumar Yadav at mid on. Two runs taken.

FOUR! Lovely shot! A bit of shape back into the right-hander, on a length, on middle. Phillips brings his wrists into play and threads the gap between mid on and mid-wicket for the first four of the chase.

This swings away, full and on off, Glenn strokes it in front of mid off for a single.

Tight single! Arshdeep lands it on a back of a length, on middle. Robinson gets on top of the bounce and tucks it in front of Ishan Kishan at a catching mid-wicket. Kishan swoops in and has a shy at the bowling end whilst losing his balance. Tim dives to get home. It would have been interesting had the throw hit.

On a good length, outside off, Phillips flashes but ends up chopping it down on the deck.

Around off, Phillips punches this length ball to cover.

SIX! Hit with real authority! Arshdeep lands it on the fuller side, on off, Phillips just holds his shape and swings through the line. Tonks it over mid off and picks up a six.

Wide! Hardik bends his back and digs it in short, over off. Robinson swivels but then bails out of the pull. The ball sails over his head for a wide.

FOUR! Off the edge! Pace off at 113.6 kph, on a length, outside off, Robinson throws his hands at it and it flies off a thickish outside edge, past short third for a four.

SIX! Nothing streaky about this one! Hardik hits the hard length, over middle. Tim stands tall and just effortlessly pulls it off the front foot over mid-wicket for a flat six.

Another off-cutter, on a length, on off, Robinson punches towards extra cover and takes a quick single.

On off, on a back of a length, Phillips drives it on the up straight to extra cover, where Rinku does not quite judge the bounce and the ball deflects away off his leg, allowing a single.

Hardik hurls it on a good length, outside off, Tim extends his hands and knocks it to extra cover.

FOUR! Ishan Kishan's effort goes in vain. Hardik floats it up, outside off, Robinson leans on and drills it all along the ground, wide of deep cover. Ishan flings himself to his right in the deep and gets a hand on it but it is not enough. The ball trickles behind into the fence. 17 runs off the over and New Zealand are starting to get a bit of momentum.

Attacking the front pad with a full ball, Phillips works it to mid on.

The length is pulled back, on off, Phillips looks to nudge it into the off side but does not pick the slower ball. Ends up bunting it down on the off side. They cross.

Skidding through, on a back of a length, on middle. Tim hops and drops it beside the strip on the leg side for one more.

FOUR! Absolutely hammered! A bit too full from Bumrah, pace off, on off. Phillips does not miss out as he smashes it past the diving Suryakumar Yadav at cover for a four.

Good comeback! A sharp and quick bumper from Bumrah, outside off, Phillips hops to flay at it but the ball keeps rising and he is beaten for pace.

Honing in on the stumps, full in length, Glenn plays a punchy drive on the bounce towards the bowler. Bumrah sticks out his left hand on his follow-through to make the stop.

Axar uses his height and lands the ball on a good length, darting it back into the batter. Robinson backs away and jams it into the off side.

1 run.

No run.
