India vs New Zealand, 1st T20I, New Zealand tour of India, 2026 - Player Highlights

Jacob Duffy to Arshdeep Singh, no run, length delivery on the stumps, Arshdeep mistimes the loft over cover and Rinku Singh won't take the single this time

Jacob Duffy to Arshdeep Singh, FOUR, oh he connects and the connection is pretty good this time to make up for those dots. Jacob Duffy not happy that he let Arshdeep put bat on ball and loft down the ground with mid-on and mid-off up

Jacob Duffy to Arshdeep Singh, no run, make it a hat-trick of dots! Slower delivery outside off stump, Arshdeep slogs and misses

Jacob Duffy to Arshdeep Singh, no run, successive dot balls! Already turning out to be a poor ball from Rinku to take that run first ball. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Arshdeep swings and misses

Jacob Duffy to Arshdeep Singh, no run, short of length delivery angling away, Arshdeep stays leg-side and tries to slash, misses

Jacob Duffy to Rinku Singh, 1 run, low full toss, Rinku flicks to deep square leg. Interestingly he goes off strike first ball

Jacob Duffy to Rinku Singh, wide, slower delivery way outside off stump

Jacob Duffy to Rinku Singh, 1 run, Rinku stays back and guides, Sodhi dives at short third man but doesn't effect a clean stop

Jacob Duffy to Axar, 1 run, short of length delivery, Axar knocks it to short third man

Jacob Duffy to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Chapman at deep mid-wicket!! Duffy the wicket-taker. He has bounce, he has pace, he gets movement, he takes pace off and he forces mishits. Hardik wanted a hard smack over mid-wicket. Took his front leg out of the way and went for the pull shot, ball hit him high on the bat and Chapman with a mini jump inside the rope at deep mid-wicket to get this key wicket. Replay shows that Jacob Duffy rolled the fingers across to bowl the slower off-cutter and it jumped on the batter. Both his wickets - Ishan Kishan earlier - came with this ball. Hardik Pandya c Chapman b Jacob Duffy 25(16) [4s-3 6s-1]

Jacob Duffy to Rinku Singh, 1 run, short of length delivery on the stumps, Rinku dabs to short third man. Jacob Duffy slips after delivering the ball. He's done that a couple of times today

Jacob Duffy to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, short of length delivery on the leg stump, Hardik flicks to deep square leg

Jacob Duffy to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, meanwhile, SKY has literally run in to show some intent and he plays a brilliant back foot drive through cover. Short of a length delivery just outside off stump, SKY rose tall, creamed the drive and once it found the gap at cover it raced away

Jacob Duffy to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Chapman!! Another wicket that seems very soft. Ishan Kishan advances for an aggressive hit but he's not balance on point of impact, probably because of the bounce tall Jacob Duffy could generate against Ishan. Yes, was the slower ball that jumped on the batter. Tried to hit it over cover, but ball hit him high on the bat and just lobbed to cover for one of the simplest of catches. Ishan Kishan c Chapman b Jacob Duffy 8(5) [4s-2]

Jacob Duffy to Ishan Kishan, no run, now dabs and picks out short third man. He wanted to place it in the gap

Jacob Duffy to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, the short-arm jab pull and he's lofted this over mid-wicket, quite easily again. Length delivery, hit on the rise. Backed himself to clear the infield and executed well because he's able to trust the bounce

Jacob Duffy to Ishan Kishan, no run, oh tries the late dab and misses! Length delivery angling away, Ishan stayed low to guide it to third man and missed. Conway tells Jacob Duffy to stick to that line

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, good length delivery on the leg stump, Abhishek knocks it towards short mid-wicket and rotates strike

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, in the air, timing good enough to clear the fence. Abhishek Sharma didn't move his feet all that well but backed himself and just hit this full inswinger through the line, watched it all the way to the ropes as it hit the sightscreen. This is what Abhishek can do, put pressure back on bowlers and win overs even when they are bowling well

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, no run, beaten! Short of a length delivery angling away, bit of extra bounce and it troubled Abhishek on the attempted hard slash

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, no run, great short ball! Forced Abhishek to sway away from the line

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, no run, full and on the leg stump, Abhishek works it to mid-wicket. Was a bit uppish

Jacob Duffy to Abhishek Sharma, wide, straightaway Abhishek Sharma steps out to have a go at Jacob Duffy. That's a really bad call for wide and no wonder Conway and the bowler were surprised. Jacob Duffy might have taken the most wickets in the powerplay last year but Abhishek has this habit of taking on the best bowlers. He swung and missed this time but it wasn't well wide of off to be called a wide

Jacob Duffy to Samson, leg byes, 1 run, slightly leg-sidish but Sanju misses the glance. Wanted to send it past backward square leg

Jacob Duffy to Samson, no run, bang on target first ball at 137.6! Lovely control on this full outswinger than finishes around middle and off, forced a defensive push from Sanju
