NZ Chase: End of Over 2! Seifert Goes Berserk Against Pandya; 25/0

The tide is shifting quickly in Ahmedabad! After a disciplined start by Arshdeep, Hardik Pandya had a nightmare first over, conceding 21 runs. Tim Seifert was the architect of the destruction, dispatching Pandya for two massive sixes and two boundaries. Despite being dropped earlier, Finn Allen is playing second fiddle as the Black Caps find their rhythm in this massive 256-run chase.

🇳🇿 New Zealand: 25/0 (2.0 Overs) RRR: 12.83
Tim Seifert: 20* (8b) | 4s: 2, 6s: 2
Finn Allen: 4* (4b) | 4s: 0, 6s: 0

⚠️ Bowling Analysis:

Hardik Pandya: 1-0-21-0 (Econ: 21.00)

Arshdeep Singh: 1-0-4-0 (Econ: 4.00)

Suryakumar Yadav needs to plug the leaks immediately. Pandya’s experience (113 career wickets) didn’t help him in that over as Seifert’s 360-degree play was on full display. Will India bring on Jasprit Bumrah now to stem the flow?
