IND vs NZ | Spin duo Washington and Jadeja dominate Kiwis while India’s top order falters late
India took control of the game, thanks to Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja, who restricted New Zealand to 235 runs. Daryl Mitchell's 82 runs weren’t enough to withstand India’s spin attack whereas India suffered a jolt towards the end of the day and finished at 86/4 and trailing by 149 runs.
After lunch, the hot and humid conditions led to multiple drinks breaks and cold towels, but the heat didn't deter Young, who reached his half-century off 94 deliveries. Young and Daryl Mitchell kept the scoreboard moving, rotating the strike effectively and building a solid partnership. Their collaboration resulted in a 70-run stand, taking New Zealand to 142/3 in 41 overs. The breakthrough came when Ravindra Jadeja dismissed the in-form Young for 71 runs off 138 balls, and he quickly followed up by taking the wicket of Tom Blundell, further destabilizing the Kiwi middle order. Despite the challenging conditions, Mitchell fought on and scored a fifty in 90 deliveries, but Jadeja struck again to dismiss Glenn Phillips for 17 runs. As Mitchell and Ish Sodhi batted together, New Zealand found themselves at 192/6 in 55 overs when tea was called.
Post tea, Sodhi and Mitchell added 23 runs, taking New Zealand’s score to 205/6 before Ravindra Jadeja dismissed both Sodhi and Matt Henry in quick succession. Mitchell continued his aggressive play, hitting occasional sixes, but fell for 82 when Washington Sundar dismissed him in the 66th over. Sundar then claimed Ajaz Patel’s wicket, wrapping up New Zealand’s innings at 235. Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma started steadily, but Sharma was dismissed by Matt Henry in the seventh over, leaving India at 32/1. Jaiswal and Shubman Gill then attacked the Kiwi bowlers, reaching 78/1 in 17 overs, but the momentum shifted as Ajaz Patel took Jaiswal and night-watchman Mohammad Siraj, followed by a run-out of Virat Kohli for just four. At stumps, India stood at 89/4, trailing by 149 runs with Gill and Rishabh Pant at the crease.
