There was bounce and a little bit of greenery and India’s bowlers landed the ball perfectly on the seam. Ball positioning, variation and outstanding fielding was the base upon which they bowled out the Kiwis for 108 runs with 16 overs left to bowl.
All the 6 bowlers were able to pick at least one wicket and Mohammad Shami rocked the Kiwis in the 5th ball of the first innings as he removed Finn Allen, followed by 2 important wickets of Daryl Mitchell and Micheal Bracewell.
