In such a situation, the way Hardik expressed his objection about the ball, it is clear that the New Zealand openers made the first two overs full of the ball. Although the team’s score was only 23 runs, but during this time Devon Conway and Finn Allen definitely spoiled the condition of the ball with their powerful attack.
For New Zealand, Finn Allen, however, could not take his innings much further and was dismissed after scoring 35 runs in 23 balls. During this, he also hit four fours and two brilliant sixes. On the other hand, Conway batted well for the team.
Washington Sundar changed the game
Finn Allen and Devon Conway, who started fast for New Zealand, were trying to score fast runs on the one hand, while Washington Sundar, on the other hand, continuously worked to tighten the screws on both of them with his spin. During this, he took two wickets in a single over and completely turned the game in favor of Team India.
Finn Allen became Washington’s first victim. Suryakumar Yadav took the best catch of Allen and showed the way to the pavilion. At the same time, the second wicket in Sundar’s account came in the form of Mark Chapman. Sundar gave a big relief to the team by taking an excellent catch of Chapman on his own ball.
