India vs New Zealand, 1st ODI, New Zealand tour of India, 2026 - Highlights

Prasidh to Kristian Clarke, 2 runs, 138ks good length ball on off, Clarke steps out and squeezes it off the inside edge to deep square leg. Jadeja runs in and fires a throw at the striker's end, but Clarke had made his way in. New Zealand finish exactly with 300

Prasidh to Jamieson, FOUR, 142.9ks full and angled in, tried to follow Jamieson and bowled it in his slot, flicked wide of mid-on and the fielder was inside the ring, the ball races away.. New Zealand inch towards 300

Prasidh to Kristian Clarke, FOUR, edged and four! Full and at the stumps, Clarke moves away and throws his bat on the drive, the outside edge flies away fine and races to the fence. Nothing Prasidh could have done with that..

Prasidh to Mitchell, out Lbw!! This is a big wicket for India. Mitchell goes with still 14 balls remaining. Nonetheless, a fine hand comes to an end. Prasidh changes his length and immediately reaps rewards. He goes full and straight, Mitchell is standing deep in the crease with the front leg out of the way, miesses the heave to the leg-side and is pinned on the back pad. The impact was right in front of the stumps and ball-tracking showed it to be smashing into leg-stump. Mitchell would feel it was in the slot and he missed out.. Mitchell lbw b Prasidh 84(71) [4s-5 6s-3]

Prasidh to Mitchell, FOUR, 4, 6, 4! Mitchell on the charge. Prasidh leaking runs again.. Short ball around off, Mitchell hook-scoops it fine and sends the ball racing to the fence. He once again waited for the ball to arrive and intentionally placed it fine

Prasidh to Mitchell, SIX, smashed! He's got hold of this. Slower ball bowled into the wicket, Mitchell waits deep in the crease and delays his bat swing, nails the pull in front of square and sends it sailing all the way

Prasidh to Mitchell, FOUR, boundary to start the over. 136.6ks good length ball outside off, Mitchell shuffles a long way and crouches low, gets under the length and scoops it fine to pick up four..

Harshit Rana to Kristian Clarke, FOUR, neatly done! Slower ball outside off, Clarke shuffles across and waits, back cuts it behind square and the sweeper had no chance of getting across and making the stop

Siraj to Mitchell, SIX, into the crowd! Siraj goes for the yorker and does not get it right, lands it in the slot and Mitchell is standing deep in the crease with his front leg out of the way, clean swing of the bat and the ball sails for a 88-meter six over long-on

Harshit Rana to Mitchell, 2 runs, 139.2ks low full toss outside off, Mitchell pushes it wide of long-off and scamper back for the second

Harshit Rana to Kristian Clarke, FOUR, shot! 138.7ks full pitcher close to off, Clarke leans forward and creams the drive wide of mid-off. That pinged off the middle and Jadeja is late on the dive, the ball races away past him

Siraj to Foulkes, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Foulkes does not last long. New Zealand continue to lose wickets regularly. Good length ball around off, Foulkes is hanging back to defend whereas he should have been forward, dangles his bat out and gets a toe-end onto the off-stump. The ball skidded through and didn't bounce as much as Foulkes expected it to. Foulkes b Siraj 1(2)

Harshit Rana to Mitchell, out Michael Bracewell Run Out!! 1 run completed. Brilliant work by Iyer. This is a massive wicket as Bracewell has a good record against India especially while batting at this stage of the innings. Harshit spears it into the blockhole, Mitchell digs it in front of long-on and Bracewell called him for the second. He had to hurry as Iyer swoops in from the rope, picks the ball up cleanly and hits the target at the non-striker's end. Bracewell was just short of the crease. Only a direct-hit would have had Bracewell and Iyer hit the bullseye. Michael Bracewell run out (Shreyas Iyer) 16(18) [4s-1]

Harshit Rana to Michael Bracewell, FOUR, smashed! Slower ball outside off, Bracewell has the width and he drills it straight down the ground. The width allowed Bracewell to free his hands and generate ample power for the ball to race away

Kuldeep Yadav to Mitchell, 1 run, fifty for Mitchell. This is a well-compiled knock. He's been busy since walking out to the middle and kept the scoreboard moving even as he's lost a couple of his partners at the other end. New Zealand need him to bat deep and get them to a competitive total. Coming to the ball: Kuldeep throws this up outside off, Mitchell leans forward and drives to sweeper cover

Kuldeep Yadav to Mitchell, SIX, time to step on the gas! 88.4ks touch quicker from Kuldeep but it was the length which allowed Mitchell to play the big shot, fuller and close to leg-stump, Mitchell clears his front leg and lofts it wide of long-on

Jadeja to Mitchell, FOUR, that's a horrid delivery from RJ - pre-empted Mitchell's charge and tried to drag the length back, but it sits up to be smacked and it's pummeled over mid-wicket for a boundary

Prasidh to Mitchell, 1 run, yorker length delivery on off, jammed down to long-on for a single, brings up NZ's 200

Prasidh to Mitchell Hay, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That's a beauty and Hay has no clue about it - nips back in sharply, was it a case of reverse swing? Jagged back into the right-hander and catches Hay in the crease, burst past the inside edge and crashes into the top of middle-stump - that's a corker and Prasidh has broken through for India. Mitchell Hay b Prasidh 18(13) [4s-2]

Jadeja to Mitchell Hay, FOUR, clubbed, long hop from RJ, dragged it short and Hay has plenty of time on the back-foot - swivels across and hammers the pull over mid-wicket

Jadeja to Mitchell Hay, FOUR, edged and four, pushed through outside off - Hay was shaping for the steer, gets a genuine edge and the ball runs away through the vacant slip region

Kuldeep Yadav to Phillips, out Caught by Shreyas Iyer!! Lovely bowling and Phillips falls to the guile of Kuldeep - tossed up slower and on off, draws Phillips forward and the ball then dips wickedly onto the right-hander - Phillips goes through with the drive, but the bottom-hand comes off on impact and he ends up spooning a sitter to Shreyas at cover-point. Phillips c Shreyas Iyer b Kuldeep Yadav 12(19) [4s-1]

Jadeja to Mitchell, FOUR, clubbed, Mitchell brings out the slog-sweep, gets a big stride forward and then hammers it over mid-wicket, picked the gap to perfection - one bounce and over the ropes

Jadeja to Phillips, FOUR, cracking shot, tad too short and wide of off, Phillips backs away, waits on it and then punches it in front of square on the off-side for a boundary

Jadeja to Phillips, 1 run, 86.5ks slower and pulls the length back, Phillips guides it through backward point and opens his account

Siraj to Will Young, out Caught by Rahul!! Third wicket for India. It is the pacers doing the damage. Two for Harshit and now Siraj strikes in his second spell. They have identified that bowling into the wicket with pace off is the way to go and Siraj is doing that since returning for this spell. 126ks short of length delivery, bowled into the wicket and the line is close to off, Young arches back and tries the ramp but since there's no pace, he gets a feather and Rahul takes a simple low catch. Will Young c Rahul b Siraj 12(16)

Siraj to Mitchell, FOUR, just over Gill. 133.9ks back of a length delivery, not there for the drive or on the up shot, but Mitchell thinks otherwise, gets it high on the bat and the ball lobs over mid-off. Gill was in from 30-yard circle trying to stop the single and the ball clears him

Harshit Rana to Conway, out Bowled!! Dragged on! Harshit has come back and removed the two set openers in consecutive overs. He's pumped and why not! 142.2ks fullish delivery, lands on the seam and nips in a little, Conway thinks it is there for the drive and pushes his hands well away from the body, gets a thick inside edge and the ball crashes into leg-stump. India pulling things back and starting to squeeze New Zealand. Conway b Harshit Rana 56(67) [4s-6 6s-1]

Harshit Rana to Nicholls, out Caught by Rahul!! Was that a set-up? Bowled a couple of short of length deliveries and gave away two fours, then slips in the slower one and breaks the partnership. 113ks off-cutter outside off, would have been a wide had Nicholls let go, but he reaches and squeezes it off the outside edge, the ball lobs to the left of Rahul and he dives across to hang on. Much needed wicket as the tempo had started to pick in the last few overs. Nicholls c Rahul b Harshit Rana 62(69) [4s-8]

Harshit Rana to Nicholls, FOUR, back to back fours! This is even more authorative. Harshit persists with the shortish length and this pitch is not one for that length, Nicholls gets into a good position and hammers the pull in front of square. No one bothered to chase it..

Harshit Rana to Nicholls, FOUR, charges down and is met by a shortened length, but this is a slow pitch and the ball does not rush onto Nicholls, gives him time to adjust and nail the pull in front of square, beats a diving Rohit at mid-wicket and picks up the boundary

Washington Sundar to Conway, FOUR, fifty for Conway. He gets there with a fabulous shot. Started well but lost a bit of rhythm after the spinners came on but this shot should get him going once again. Conway uses his feet, comes down the track and gives himself room, lofts it with the spin inside out over extra cover, couple of bounces and over the rope

Washington Sundar to Nicholls, 1 run, fifty for Nicholls. He got an early reprieve from Kuldeep and he's making the most of it. Started scratchily but has gown into the innings, looks more assured of the two batters now. Another short of length delivery from Washi which Nicholls punches to long-off and reaches the landmark

Kuldeep Yadav to Conway, SIX, misjudged and Conway gets away with it. Washi is well in from the rope and the ball sails over him. The pressure was building on Conway and he plays the big shot. He kneels down and slog sweeps it to deep square leg, Washi comes in and tries to take it over his head, but the ball evades him and lands flush on the ad cushions. That would have been a regulation catch had he stayed put.. Replays show he was 12 meters in from the rope - that's a lot

Kuldeep Yadav to Nicholls, FOUR, lovely shot, quick hands from Nicholls - bends down low, reverses the stance, gets on top of the bounce and beats backward point to his right with the reverse sweep

Prasidh to Nicholls, FOUR, beautifully played, short and at the left-hander - Nicholls swivels across, uses the pace on the ball and pulls it behind square on the on-side, Siraj ran to his right, slid and dragged the ball back, but as he did so, his fingers were touching the rope and the ball also went back to touch the rope, given as a boundary

Washington Sundar to Nicholls, FOUR, nicely played, tossed up and drifting back into the left-hander - Nicholls gets a long way across on the sweep, rolled his wrists and then beats backward square leg to his right with a controlled sweep

Washington Sundar to Nicholls, 1 run, flighted delivery on off, punched back past the bowler for a single

Prasidh to Conway, FOUR, more runs, a boundary for Conway - short of a good length and angling into the left-hander, Conway gets inside the line and clips it fine, the outfield is very fast and Siraj dives in vain

Prasidh to Nicholls, FOUR, cheeky and four, short of a good length and angling back into the left-hander, Nicholls shuffles across, uses Prasidh's pace and laps it fine, beats short fine to his left and runs away to the ropes

Harshit Rana to Nicholls, FOUR, nicely played, banged in short and at the body - Nicholls picks the length early, swivels across and then pulls it past square leg for a boundary

Siraj to Conway, FOUR, beautifully played, tad too full and wide of off, was the slower ball from Siraj - Conway leans into the drive and places the drive to the left of cover for a boundary

Harshit Rana to Conway, FOUR, nicely played, banged in short and angling into the left-hander - Conway gets inside the line, swivels across and then pulls it down, went fine of long leg and the fielder in the deep has no chance

Harshit Rana to Nicholls, 1 run, short, wide and Kuldeep has dropped it - width on offer and Nicholls went chasing after that, gets a thick top-edge and the ball flew towards third man - Kuldeep ran in, got to the ball at a decent height, slides forward and lets the ball pop out as he hit the ground

Siraj to Conway, FOUR, cracking shot, full and wide of off, wasn't a bad ball by any means, Conway leans across, drives it on the rise and caresses it into the gap wide of cover for a boundary

Harshit Rana to Conway, FOUR, beautifully played, a long half-volley from Harshit - Conway leans across, presents the full face of the bat and then punches it back past the non-striker for a boundary

Siraj to Nicholls, FOUR, nicely played, back of a length and at the hips, Nicholls gets inside the line and then clips it past square leg, was in the air, but there's no one in the vicinity, the ball runs away to the ropes
