Tim Seifert (W)st MS Dhoni b Kuldeep Yadav 43 25 3 3 172
7.4
K Yadav to Tim Seifert, OUT! That was a matter of centimeters. MS Dhoni, you genius. Only he can do this. What reflexes! Kuldeep delivers it full and outside off, Seifert stretches forward to play at it but it spins away to beat the bat. Dhoni collects the ball and is lightning quick in taking the bails off. He appeals after that and then goes to celebrate with his players. The square leg umpire refers it upstairs. It looks like a close matter. The third umpire watches a few angles and then rules it in favour of the fielding team. Those swift hands of MSD! Legendary. The Indians have finally broken the 80-run stand.
Colin Munroc Hardik Pandya b Kuldeep Yadav 72 40 5 5 180
13.2
K Yadav to C Munro, OUT! Smart stuff from Kuldeep! Munro departs for 72. Relief for Khaleel. A flighted ball well outside off, Munro wants to hit it for a maximum and goes chasing after that ball. Tries it fetch it from wide outside off but it takes the top edge and goes to Hardik, who comes running in from long on. Takes a good catch and sends back the danger man. Finally, a second wicket for the bowling team. Colin will be disappointed. There was a century for the taking. Anyway, a good reply by him to the selectors who have dropped him from the ODI squad.
Kane Williamson (C)c Kuldeep Yadav b Khaleel Ahmed 27 21 3 0 128.57
14.4
K Ahmed to K Williamson, OUT! Caught at short fine leg. Williamson has to go. A pacy short of a length ball from around the wicket by Khaleel, Kane comes inside the line and looks to pull it over fine leg who was in the circle. The ball comes onto him too quickly though and goes high in the air but not far enough. Kuldeep settles under it and takes a simple catch. New Zealand won't mind as the runs are what matter now and lots of big-hitting batsmen are left.
Colin de Grandhommec MS Dhoni b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 30 16 3 1 187.5
18.2
B Kumar to de Grandhomme, OUT! Good death bowling. A nice fuller length ball wide of off stump and Grandhomme reaches out for that ball and looks to smash it over cover. The ball takes the outside edge and goes to Dhoni who does not make any mistake. The ball would have been a wide had he left that alone. A good result for India though, a wicket and a dot ball.

Batting R B 4s 6s SR
Shikhar Dhawanc Daryl Mitchell b Mitchell Santner 5 4 1 0 125
0.5
M Santner to S Dhawan, OUT! Dhawan falls cheaply. A flatter one on middle, Dhawan looks to sweep it away but fails to keep it down. The ball goes in the air towards deep square leg and Daryl Mitchell comes running forward to take a brilliant tumbling catch. There was a slight bobble but he does well to hold on in the end. A massive wicket for the Kiwis early on in the chase.
Rohit Sharma (C)c Tim Seifert b Daryl Mitchell 38 32 3 0 118.75
13.6
D Mitchell to R Sharma, OUT! Huge wicket in the context of the game. Rohit was looking out of sorts but everyone knows how dangerous he can be. A good length ball wide of off stump and Sharma goes chasing. The ball takes the outside edge and goes to Seifert who takes a simple catch. No special Hitman show today and New Zealand pick up another wicket. The Indians need 72 runs in 36 balls.
Vijay Shankarc Colin de Grandhomme b Mitchell Santner 43 28 5 2 153.57
8.3
M Santner to V Shankar, OUT! Four and then a wicket. Shankar was just picking up his pace but has to depart now. This ball was not short enough but Shankar went for the sweep initially. He tries to adjust and then hit it over mid-wicket hence does not get true connection. The ball goes only as far as de Grandhomme in the deep who running to his right takes a really good catch. Santner strikes and it is a good time to pick up a wicket.
Rishabh Pantc Kane Williamson b Blair Tickner 28 12 1 3 233.33
12.2
B Tickner to R Pant, OUT! The first international wicket for Tickner and it has come off a full toss. The pressure was building and Pant in a bid to hit out has given it straight to the fielder at mid-wicket. A full toss outside off, Rishabh looks to slog that over cow corner but does not get the elevation. Kane Williamson takes a smart catch and this wicket has come at a really important time. The Indians still need 92 in 46 balls.
Hardik Pandyac Kane Williamson b Scott Kuggeleijn 21 11 1 2 190.91
14.5
S Kuggeleijn to H Pandya, OUT! Bizarre dismissal. Ball is flying, bat is flying, the former is caught which matters the most for the Kiwis. Kuggeleijn digs in a short ball on off at 144 kph, hurries up the batsman with his strong pace. Hardik tries to pull but the bat slips from his hands as it makes contact with the top edge and balloons towards mid off. Kane Williamson moves swiftly across to his right from extra cover and takes the catch safely. The little cameo from Pandya is over but India needed more from him.
MS Dhoni (W)c Tim Southee b Daryl Mitchell 2 4 0 0 50
15.2
D Mitchell to MS Dhoni, OUT! High in the air and easily taken by Southee at long on. The Kiwis see the end of Dhoni and this is a sight that will hurt the Indian fans. A length ball and MS Dhoni goes for the huge one over long on. Does not get all of it and the ball goes higher rather than far. Holes out at long on. India losing their way now in the chase, still need 68 in 28 balls. Mitchell has really bowled well today in the context of the game, 2 wickets for him so far.
