January/21/2023  Time-18:27 (IST)

IND vs NZ: INDIA WIN!

Shubman Gill dances down the track and hits the winning runs for India. It's a four and with it, India seal the three-match series with a game to go. New Zealand were never in the game ever since they got off to a poor start with the bat and India made sure that they remained in the driver's seat throughout the game.

January/21/2023  Time-18:22 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FOUR!

India can win the series against New Zealand with just two runs thanks to a reverse sweep by Ishan Kishan. Although Kishan took the shot with deliberate intent, the flawless execution made it appear flawless.

January/21/2023  Time-18:18 (IST)

IND vs NZ: WICKET!

At the score of 11, Virat Kohli has no idea where to go. Kohli was defeated by a stunning delivery from Mitchell Santner. Kohli was prompted to take a front foot shot by the left-armorthodox spinner, who bowled it around a good length area. Kohli moved forward, but before Tom Latham could remove the bails in time, the ball spun and missed the outside edge of his bat.

January/21/2023  Time-18:14 (IST)

IND vs NZ: SHUBMAN GILL ON FIRE!

The heat is now being turned up by Shubman Gill. In the 18th over, he gave Michael Bracewell two fours, and India only needs 11 runs to win the game. New Zealand could not escape this situation without a miracle—or perhaps even that would fail.

January/21/2023  Time-8:10 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FOUR!

Virat Kohli's second boundary of the innings. It was Henry Shipley's short ball. The ball raced toward the backward square leg region for a four despite the fact that Kohli did not receive the pull from the middle of his bat. To win, India needs 21 more.

January/21/2023  Time-18:09 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FOUR!

Wow! Virat Kohli hit that with a shot. Kohli used the full face of the bat to drive the ball down the boundary line for a four after Henry Shipley bowled a fuller delivery on the stumps with good pace.

January/21/2023  Time-18:00 (IST)

IND vs NZ: WICKET!

With a score of 51, Rohit Sharma is eliminated. Henry Shipley takes the field. The Indian captain wanted to play the ball down the leg side, but he didn't know how long the ball was and was called out for LBW.

January/21/2023  Time-17:53 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FIFTY FOR ROHIT SHARMA!

Rohit Sharma hit 47 balls to reach his half-century. Today, he appeared extremely at ease at the crease. This is an excellent knock from the captain of India, whose team is getting close to winning the series against New Zealand.

January/21/2023  Time-17:40 (IST)

IND vs NZ: ROHIT SHARMA ON FIRE!

Rohit Sharma is currently batting with great dominance in the second ODI, scoring fours and sixes in the 10th over from Blair Tickner and fours again in the 11th over from Mitchell Santner.

January/21/2023  Time-17:29 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FOUR!

Lockie Ferguson bowls poorly here. He bowled a fuller delivery outside off stump to the backward point without a fielder. For a four, Rohit just hit it over the point fielder.

January/21/2023  Time-17:28 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FOUR!

Rohit Sharma hit it for a four toward the point from Blair Tickner's slightly short outside off stump. India must score 76 more runs from the remaining 253 balls to win.

January/21/2023  Time-17:20 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FOUR!

Shubman Gill scores a four after Lockie Ferguson hits it a little bit fuller. Gill hit an aggressive drive that missed the cover fielder and ran for the boundary.

January/21/2023  Time-17:15 (IST)

IND vs NZ: SIX!

A short ball to Rohit Sharma in such a situation is nothing but a crime. Lockie Ferguson did it and thus paid the price. The ball had some real good pace in it, but Rohit played a beautiful hook shot on it for a six over fine leg fence.

January/21/2023  Time-17:11 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FOUR!

That's an authoritative shot from Rohit Sharma. He created room for himself and slashed the ball over cover for a four. There was no fielder and hence a boundary was only a matter of time.

January/21/2023  Time-17:10 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FOUR!

A fuller ball outside off stump from Henry Shipley and Shubman Gill lofts it over the backward point region for a four.

January/21/2023  Time-17:03 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FOUR!

First boundary of the Indian innings. A short ball from Henry Shipley and there comes the pull shot from Rohit Sharma. The ball raced to the left of deep mid-wicket fielder, who failed to stop the ball near the boundary rope.

January/21/2023  Time-17:00 (IST)

IND vs NZ: INDIA'S CHASE UNDERWAY!

India have started their chase of 109 runs with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Lockie Ferguson bowled the first over and conceded only one run in it, besides missing the outside edge of Rohit's bat around a couple of times.

January/21/2023  Time-16:09 (IST)

IND vs NZ: NEW ZEALAND ALL OUT FOR 108

Kuldeep Yadav claims his first wicket of the game and New Zealand are all out for 108 runs. No doubt the Indian bowlers bowled well today, but still the guests can blame themselves for such a poor show with the bat.

January/21/2023  Time-16:01 (IST)

IND vs NZ: WICKET!

Washington Sundar has trapped Glenn Phillips. Sudar kept it short and outside off. Phillips went for a pull but failed to clear Suryakumar Yadav at deep mid-wicket.

January/21/2023  Time-15:55 (IST)

IND vs NZ: HARDIK PANDYA STRIKES!

Hardik Pandya has got the better of Mitchell Santner and New Zealand are seven down now. This is the second wicket for the Indian all-rounder.

January/21/2023  Time-15:49 (IST)

IND vs NZ: FIGHT BACK IS ON!

The partnership between Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips is slowly headed towards the 50-run mark with New Zealand fighting back. 

January/21/2023  Time-15:40 (IST)

IND vs NZ: 90 UP FOR NZ!

Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips have steadied the ship quite a bit with back-to-back boundaries off Kuldeep Yadav. 28 overs gone and NZ are 95 for the loss of six wickets.

January/21/2023  Time-15:24 (IST)

IND vs NZ: SO CLOSE YET SO FAR!

Another opportunity to take a wicket for Kuldeep Yadav but the spinner was unable to complete the catch! It has hit back quite hard and although he was able to control it in the beginning, the ball bounced out of his hands!

January/21/2023  Time-15:20 (IST)

IND vs NZ: SOME RESPITE!

Respite for New Zealand as they have crossed their lowest total in ODIs. The Kiwis were dismissed for 64 against Pakistan in 1986. Against India, NZ's lowest total came in 2016 when they were all out for 79.

January/21/2023  Time-15:12 (IST)

IND vs NZ: CATCH DROPPED!

A miscue from Mitchell Santner but Rohit Sharma was unable to hold on to the catch despite diving towards his right. Kuldeep Yadav is the only Indian bowler without a wicket in this game and looks like he will have to wait for a bit more.

January/21/2023  Time-15:05 (IST)

IND vs NZ: SHAMI STRIKES AGAIN!

A bouncer from Shami and the danger man Michael Bracewell departs. The ball took the faintest of edges and Ishan Kishan made no mistake behind the stumps. Seventh wicket down for New Zealand!

January/21/2023  Time-14:55 (IST)

IND vs NZ: BRACEWELL FIGHTING BACK!

Finally a confident boundary and it is Michael Bracewell - the cricketer who impressed everyone in the first ODI. He walked forward and slammed the ball for a boundary through the cover region. NZ 42/5

January/21/2023  Time-14:51 (IST)

IND vs NZ: STAT ATTACK!

15/5 - This was the lowest score for New Zealand after the loss of five wickets in their history. Incidentally, it was also the lowest score for any side after losing five wickets in an ODI against India.

January/21/2023  Time-14:42 (IST)

IND vs NZ: ANOTHER MAIDEN OVER!

Second maiden over for Hardik Pandya and New Zealand are scoring at just two runs per over. However, the two batsmen have taken an extremely safe approach till now and they are not willing to take any risks. NZ 28/5

January/21/2023  Time-14:35 (IST)

IND vs NZ: WELCOME BOUNDARIES!

Two boundaries for Glenn Phillips and one for Michael Bracewell! It has been a disappointing start for New Zealand in the ongoing encounter but with last match's start Bracewell at the crease, the fans will surely be hoping for a steady innings.

January/21/2023  Time-14:26 (IST)

IND vs NZ: NZ FIVE DOWN!

A slight outside edge and that is the end of skipper Tom Latham. Shardul Thakur did not take long to join the party as Shubman Gill completed his second catch at slips. NZ 15/5 after 10.3 overs.

January/21/2023  Time-14:23 (IST)

IND vs NZ: PANDYA STRIKES!

A brilliant catch from Hardik Pandya and everything is going wrong for New Zealand. Not a single batsman has crossed the 10-run mark for NZ and Devon Conway becomes the latest to lose his wicket. NZ 15/4 after 10 overs.

January/21/2023  Time-14:15 (IST)

IND vs NZ: HORRIBLE START FOR NZ!

10 for the loss of three wickets after eight overs - This has been a horrible start for New Zealand. The batsmen have looked helpless against the pace attack and this can be bad news for the visitors as the game progresses.

January/21/2023  Time-14:06 (IST)

IND vs NZ: SECOND SCALP FOR SHAMI!

Caught and bowled! Mohammed Shami simply can do wrong as he dismisses Daryl Mitchell for just 1. A miscue from the batsman and Shami completed an impressive reflex catch to take his second wicket of the game.

January/21/2023  Time-14:01 (IST)

IND vs NZ: IT IS SIRAJ TIME!

Mohammed Siraj joins the party and it is getting worse for New Zealand! A length delivery from the fast bowler and Henry Nicholls ended up edging it straight to Shubman Gill at first slip!

January/21/2023  Time-13:55 (IST)

IND vs NZ: NZ CLUELESS!

The New Zealand batsmen have been struggling to get going against an impressive fast bowling display from the Indian pacers. Both Henry Nicholls and Devon Conway has been cautious in their approach but the lack of runs can increase the pressure on the duo considerably.

January/21/2023  Time-13:47 (IST)

IND vs NZ: DISCIPLINED SHOW!

Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are bowling brilliantly as the New Zealand batsmen are unable to score off them. It has been a highly disciplined show till now as NZ are 5/1 after 3 overs.

January/21/2023  Time-13:38 (IST)

IND vs NZ: MAIDEN OVER!

Brilliant start for India as Mohammed Shami was able to get the first wicket of the game early and he did not concede a single run. A rare wicket maiden at the very start of the encounter!

January/21/2023  Time-13:35 (IST)

IND vs NZ: SHAMI STRIKES!

What a delivery from Mohammed Shami. A hint of movement from the fast bowler and Finn Allen was completely foxed by the delivery. The ball crashed straight into the stumps and New Zealand are 0/1 after the first over.

January/21/2023  Time-13:12 (IST)

IND vs NZ: HERE ARE THE TEAMS!

India: Rohit Sharma (capt.), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj

January/21/2023  Time-1:09 pm (IST)

IND vs NZ: ROHIT WINS TOSS!

Rohit won the toss but forgot what to do. He finally decides India are going to bowl first.

"There has been talk within the team that they want to challenge themselves under the lights too but for today they had decided to bowl. And amid all that talk, he forgot what was actually decided," he said at the toss.
Both teams remain unchanged
