NZ Chase: Arshdeep Starts with a Beauty! A Precise Dot to Seifert

Arshdeep Singh begins the defense of 255 with exactly what India needed—control. He steamed in and delivered a perfect length ball that nipped back slightly. Tim Seifert looked to defend, but the ball beat the inside edge and thudded into the pads. A huge appeal from the Indians, but the umpire remains unmoved. A solid dot ball to start the proceedings!

🇳🇿 New Zealand: 0/0 (0.1 Overs) RRR: 12.86
Tim Seifert: 0* (1b)
Finn Allen: 0* (0b)

🏏 Over 1 Live (Arshdeep):

Ball 1: 0 (Dot - Beaten on the inside edge)
Ball 2:

Seifert is clearly feeling the heat of the required run rate already. Arshdeep looks like he's found his rhythm immediately. Does Seifert try to clear the infield on the second ball to relieve the pressure?
