Kane Williamson grabs a stunner in IND vs NZ match
After being hit by Pandya, Kane Williamson completed a stunning catch to dismiss Ravindra Jadeja later in the match. Thanks to some exceptional fielding and disciplined bowling, the Kiwis have restricted India for just 249/9 in their allotted 50 overs.
Speaking more about the IND vs NZ Champions Trophy match, the Blackcaps won the toss and opted to have a bowl first. The Men in Blue were jolted by some early blows as they were 30/3 inside the mandatory powerplay. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli got starts but could not convert it to a big total.
Shreyas Iyer (79 off 98 balls) was the standout performer for the Indian side. Apart from him, Axar Patel (43 runs), Hardik Pandya (45 runs), KL Rahul (23 runs) and Ravindra Jadeja (16 runs) made some valuable contributions.
With the ball, Matt Henry was the star of the show completing a 5-wicket haul against India in the IND vs NZ Champions Trophy match. The Men in Blue will need to bowl out of their skins in order to defend the total of 250 runs against the Kiwis.
