At the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, Mitchell Santner, the captain of News, had previously won the toss and chosen to bowl first. Even though Matt Henry took five wickets,
New Zealand’s fielding was impressive,
particularly the amazing catches made by Glenn Phillips (who dismissed Virat Kohli) and Kane Williamson (who sent home Ravindra Jadeja). India’s hopes were saved by Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel after the Men in Blue were reduced to 30/3 by the seventh over, suffering the heavy losses of Virat Kohli (11) and Rohit Sharma (15), as well as Shubman Gill (2). Before they left with the score of 172/5, Shreyas struck 79 off 98 and Axar added 42.

india have always had a subpar record against New Zealand in global tournaments with the Black Caps winning 10 times as opposed to India’s 5 wins. The Rohit Sharma-led outfit will also be wary of the Kiwis subcontinent form with New Zealand having defeated Pakistan and South Africa in the Tri-Series before the Champions Trophy and then going on to win both their matches in the tournament against Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The Kiwis had also handed India their worst home series loss in recent memory when they whitewashed Rohit’s men 3-0 in the Test series last year. But India will find solace in the fact that the last time these two sides met in a 50-over ICC tournament, Rohit and Co had defeated the Kiwis in the semifinals of the 2023 ODI World Cup

Important to finish on a high. NZ are a good team who are playing some good cricket. Very important to get a good result, we played a perfect game. It was important at that stage (after being 30/3) to build a partnership, and I thought we got to a good total. We have the quality in our bowling to defend that total. (On Chakaravarthy) He has something different about him, so wanted to try and see what he can offer.
We haven’t thought much about the next game,
but good headache to have. Critical to possibly win every game and doing everything right in a short tournament. Important to correct mistakes quickly, and that’s where we know if your team is going up or going down. It will be a good game, Australia has a rich history of playing ICC tournaments well, but is is about us and what we want to do well on that particular day. It will be a great contest, looking forward to that. Hopefully we can stitch one towards us
