Ind Vs Nz Live: Another Blow! Hardik Caught by Santner Just After Clearing the Rope
The rollercoaster continues! Just one ball after smoking a massive six, Hardik Pandya has perished. He tried to go big again off Matt Henry, but he didn't get the desired distance. The New Zealand captain, Mitchell Santner, made no mistake under the high ball, pouching a safe catch to send the Indian vice-captain back for 18.
☝️ WICKET: Hardik Pandya Out!
H. Pandya c Santner b Henry 18 (13b) | 4s: 1 | 6s: 1
India is losing wickets at a worrying frequency here. After the 203/1 platform, the middle order has struggled to stay at the crease.
| Tilak Varma: | 5* (4b) |
| New Batter: | Shivam Dube |
Axar Patel joins Tilak Varma. India still has 10 balls left and will be desperate to squeeze out at least 25-30 more runs to set a truly intimidating target. Can the "Bapu" of Indian cricket provide the late-inning surge?
