The Daily Guardian
|October 21, 2024
A fine bowling performance from Matt Henry and William O'Rourke, coupled with brilliant batting from Rachin Ravindra, helped New Zealand secure an eight-wicket victory over a resilient Indian side in the first Test at Bengaluru on Sunday.
-
This is the Kiwis' first win in India in over 36 years, since 1988. With this victory, they lead the three-match series 1-0.
Chasing 107 runs, New Zealand had a shaky start as Jasprit Bumrah dismissed skipper Tom Latham for a duck on the second ball of the innings. The Kiwis were 0/1 in 1 over.
Will Young and Devon Conway began to build a partnership for New Zealand. However, Bumrah struck again, trapping Conway leg-before-wicket for 17, leaving New Zealand at 35/2 in 12.3 overs.
New Zealand reached the 50-run mark in 13.4 overs.
Young was joined by Rachin Ravindra, and together they took New Zealand to the 100-run mark in 26.3 overs.
