NZ Chase: First Over Complete! Arshdeep Singh Starts Strong; India in Control
An eventful opening over comes to an end! Arshdeep Singh was on the money, nearly claiming the wicket of the dangerous Finn Allen if not for the spilled chance at mid-on. Finn Allen tucked the final delivery away for a single to retain the strike. While New Zealand is off the mark, the required run rate has already started its upward climb!
🇳🇿 New Zealand: 4/0 (1.0 Over) RRR: 13.26
| Finn Allen: | 3* (3b) |
| Tim Seifert: | 1* (3b) |
🏏 Over 1 Summary (Arshdeep):
0 • 0 • 1 • 0 • 2 • 1 (4 Runs)
A very disciplined start by India. With 252 runs still needed from 114 balls, New Zealand needs to find the fence soon. Who will take the ball from the other end? Is it time for Jasprit Bumrah to unleash his pace?
