Coming to the match, this is a dead rubber match, given the fact that Shreyas Iyer’s side has already won the series. Mitchell Santner won the toss and elected to bowl first. The Men in Blue made two changes, bringing back Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Varun Chakravarthy also got his chance for the first time in the series.
Shreyas also came back with a brilliant counterattacking fifty in the match. However, both batters were dismissed in the span of a few overs. After the two quick wickets, they failed to keep the momentum as the middle order failed and they kept on losing wickets. Naman Dhir’s 33 runs helped the side to post a decent total of 191/8 in 20 overs.
New Zealand had a good start
But Varun Chakravarthy has pulled the game for the side, as he has dismissed Daryl Mitchell, and it is a crucial wicket given the partnership was building.
