NZ vs CAN Match 31 Live Commentary - Chennai (17 February 2026)

New Zealand are underway in the chase! Jaskarandeep Singh starts with a hard-length delivery, on middle. Tim Seifert stays back to play at it but gets an inside edge towards square leg for a single.

FOUR! Put away! Jaskarandeep Singh errs in line and lands this back of a length, down the leg side. Finn Allen nudges it off his hips wide of short fine leg for a boundary. You just cannot bowl there.

WIDE! Short of a length and around off, shaping further away. Finn Allen slashes hard at it but fails to connect. Called a wide.

Absolute chaos in the middle! Fuller one and on middle, Finn Allen clips it in front of short mid-wicket and sets off for the run. The fielder picks up and has a shy at the bowler's end but it is well wide. The fielder backing up at extra cover dives to his left but lets it through as the ball rolls to the fence. To make matters worse, the siren goes off and Singh has overstepped here. No Ball caleld and Free Hit to follow.

Gets away with it! Had length and on middle, Tim Seifert looks to pull but gets it from the toe-end towards mid on.

No run.
