The "17-17" boundary balance was nearly maintained, but that final boundary from Dube pushes the Fours to 18 while the Sixes remain at 17. It’s been a masterclass in power hitting at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
New Zealand has a mountain to climb. They need to go at 12.8 runs per over against a bowling attack led by Jasprit Bumrah. History is on the line!
