🏏New Zealand vs India : 3rd ODI: At Indore on 18/01/26 D/N🏏 - Page 4

India has the edge but NZ is also looking to make a place for themselves in the history books. They have won just 9 games out of 41 ODIs in the Indian soil. It's going to be an interesting clash!

Match is about to begin!!!

1.27pm It's almost go-time. The Indian fielders walk out to the middle, with Gill leading the chat. Mithun Manhas, the BCCI President, rings the bell to signal the start of the game. The two NZ openers, Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls stride out as well. Conway takes strike.

Thanks for the tag Madhu.

India has won the toss. Expecting them to win the match and series. All the best boys.

Cheers..

Arshdeep Singh to Nicholls, out Bowled!! Chopped on! Nicholls b Arshdeep Singh 0(1)

Arshdeep Singh to Nicholls, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

NZ lost their first wicket!!!

Harshit Rana to Conway, out Caught by Rohit!! Conway c Rohit b Harshit Rana 5(4) [4s-1]

Harshit Rana to Conway, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

India have got both openers now - another half-hearted poke and Conway has edged it straight into Rohit's hands at 1st slip - back of a length and in that channel just around off, straightened a fraction and Conway is caught in between playing and leaving, ends up hanging his bat out, the ball catches the shoulder and loops through to Rohit. Harshit Rana has dismissed Conway in all three matches in this series. The danger man, the in form batsman Conway, is out!!

3rd over

2-1-5-1

Both the openers dismissed: Superb start for India. They've bowled well in the 1st powerplay throughout the series and they are likely to keep NZ under 50 in the first 10 overs.

Arshdeep Singh to Mitchell, FOUR, to long-off.

NZ-- 21/2 after 5 overs.
