India and New Zealand are locking horns in a Super 12 round match of the T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai. Both teams lost their first game against Pakistan and are now playing in a must-win match.
Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bowl first. New Zealand brought Adam Milne in the playing XI and left Tim Seifert out for this game. On the other hand, India left Suryakumar Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar out while Ishan Kishan and Shardul Thakur replaced them in the playing XI.

Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul came out to bat while Trent Boult had the new ball in his hand to trouble the Indian openers like Shaheen Shah Afridi did the other night. Both openers played out Boult’s first over without taking any risk. However, Ishan Kishan went for a full-blooded heave on the second last ball of Boult’s second ball and ended up giving a catch to Daryl Mitchell.
Rohit Sharma walked out at number 3. Boult welcomed him with a short-ball and Rohit went for a hook straight away. He edged the ball to Adam Milne at fine leg. But Milne dropped a very easy catch to give Rohit a reprieve on the very first ball.
Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh had her heart in her mouth. However, he took a sigh of relief as soon as Milne dropped Rohit Sharma’s catch.
