Santner hails New Zealand bowlers for keeping India to 209 in 5th ODI, but rues lack of partnerships
However, New Zealand failed to chase down the target of 210 runs against the Men in Blue in the ODI series decider. They were 64/1 at one stage but then lost five wickets for just 55 runs and slipped to 119/6. Several batters got starts, but none of them could convert their starts into big scores. Santner scored 24 runs off 31 balls before Naman Dhir dismissed him in the 41st over.
The New Zealand captain said, "I was very happy at the halfway stage. It’s probably not as much in it as we thought. I thought the guys adapted well. It was obviously a little bit slow, and then the way Beast (Michael Bracewell) kind of operated through the middle, you know, was outstanding. I think we were able to chip wickets out throughout. I was pretty happy with the 200 (209).”
Meanwhile, Mitchell Santner credited India's fast bowlers for their thrilling win over the Black Caps in the final ODI. He also credited Shreyas Iyer for rotating the bowlers smartly and using them at the right time. Santner felt New Zealand could have won if their batters had built longer partnerships, but India's bowlers kept taking wickets and handled the pressure well.
Mitchell Santner further mentioned, “I think they bowled really well in tonight's show. All four seamers bowled well; Shreyas did a great job rotating them around. Obviously held Axar back because the seamers were going really well. I think they were able to chip wickets away through the middle as well. They brought Arshdeep back on at the right time and Siraj as well. So, it was a great performance.”
Mitchell Santner says India vs New Zealand ODI Series was much closer than 3-1 scoreline
Santner signed off by saying, “You look at the scoreline 3-1. I think it was closer than that. We played some good cricket. Obviously had a little bit of rain around and lost a few tosses. But in between all that, there’s a lot of good stuff.
I think today, even in the last game, if you could take it a little bit deeper, there’s obviously a lot of time, especially with the bat in 50-over cricket. And then, different guys coming in—it's obviously a good experience. Guys stepped up as well, which was nice.”
