भारत vs न्यूजीलैंड, पहला टी20, विदर्भ क्रिकेट असोसिएशन ग्राउंड, नागपुर, 21 January 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

In and around the off pole, on a nagging length, Mitchell taps it to extra cover.

Tosses it up, on middle, Mitchell advances down the track and has a big heave across the line. Shanks it off the inner half to deep square leg for a run.

SIX! Excellent use of the feet! This keeps straight, on a length, on off, Chapman puts the dancing shoes on and smokes it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

Varun switches to over the wicket and this cuts across the left-hander, Mark punches it firmly to extra cover.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Mark Chapman holes out. That will make New Zealand's job all the more difficult with both set batters now back in the hut. This is slowed down, on the shorter side, on middle. Chapman shimmies down the track and swings through the line. He is not to the pitch of the ball and gets only the height and not the distance. Abhishek Sharma runs in off the ropes and settles under the skier. Wicket number 2 for Chakaravarthy.

Flat and short, on off, Santner dabs it wide of point for a single.

A round-arm delivery, on the pads, Santner clips it to deep mid-wicket and picks up a single.

Oh, falls just short. Flighted ball, drifted into leg stump. Daryl Mitchell clears the front leg and heaves it off the inner half of the blade and gets it over mid-wicket. Abhishek Sharma races in from the deep and puts in the dive but the ball lands short. Sharma does well to get his body behind it and they get two runs.

FOUR! Oh, that's burst through the fingers of Axar Patel. Hopefully, he hasn't split his webbing here. Slower and on a dragged length around off. Mitchell swats it flat and hard to the left of the bowler. Axar bravely sticks out his left hand but the ball deflects away to the fence behind.

Shorter in length and on off, Mitchell rocks back and swats it straight back into the turf. Abhishek Sharma looks to stop it in the follow-through but gets only fingertips on it. The ball goes through his legs and down to long off as the batters pick up a couple of runs.

Floated up, on a length and angled into the batter. Mitchell backs away and slaps it down to cover.

Darted in on the pads, whipped away through mid-wicket for just a single. Abhishek Sharma gives away just 3 runs in the 3 balls he had to bowl, excellent stuff.

Well, that went the other way. A wide yorker from Arshdeep. Mitchell pre-empts the reverse ramp but miscues it off the edge of the blade and gets it behind square leg for a single.

Good-length delivery on middle, Santner lifts it straight back over the bowler's head, but doesn't time it to perfection. Abhishek Sharma at long on, mops it up to his right and keeps it down to two.

Slower ball, into the pitch and wide outside off. Santner hangs back and smacks it down through mid off for just a single.

Another wide yorker from Arshdeep, flirting with the tramline. Mitchell reaches out but ends up toe-ending it back on the deck. Had Mitchell left that, it would have been a wide.

FOUR! Off the edge! A well-directed bumper over middle and leg, Mitchell is standing well out of his crease and gets hurried on the pull. The ball takes the top edge and sails over the keeper's head for a boundary.

FOUR! That's nicely done by Mitchell. Arshdeep nails the wide yorker but this time Mitchell stays put, extends those arms and opens the face of the blade to squeeze it over short third for a boundary.

FOUR! Very, very unlucky for Rinku Singh. Full and outside off, Mitchell Santner hangs deep and swats it flat and hard towards the long off fence. Rinku leaps up and palms the ball back in wonderfully but unfortunately for him, the ball dribbles back into the ropes.

FOUR! That's nicely put away as well by Santner. Short of a length, on the pads, flicked off the hips away wide of short fine leg for another boundary.

Fuller in length, speared in towards the stumps. Santner backs away and drills it down to long off for just a single this time.

That's like hitting the nail on the head. A searing yorker on middle, right in the blochole. Daryl Mitchell digs it out wide of mid on and picks up a single.

Another yorker in the blockhole, angled into the legs. Santner makes room and firms it down to long off for a run.

FOUR! Really well adjusted in the end by Mitchell. Full and straight, Daryl Mitchell initially sets up for the reverse sweep but gets taken aback by the full toss. He quickly switches the grip and reverse ramps it fine of short third for a boundary. 15 off the over.

Banged in slow and short outside off. Santner drags the pull down to deep mid-wicket and picks up a single.

DROPPED! Another catching opportunity goes down and this time, Ishan Kishan is the culprit. Pitched up full and on the pads, Daryl Mitchell whips it off his legs and gets it over mid-wicket. Kishan comes in from the deep but is just a bit casual and the ball slips through his hands. The Kiwis get a single.

A low full toss, angled into the toes, Santner flicks it away firmly but straight to deep mid-wicket for one.

Excellent from Arshdeep, just four singles off it thus far. A wide yorker, gets it spot-on. Mitchell has to reach for it and squeezes it through backward point for a single.

A low full toss around off, nearly a perfect yorker. Santner jams it down into the deck and the ball goes over the bowler, rolling away to long off. The batters pick up a single.

Swing and a miss! A full ball outside off, takes off after pitching as well. Mitchell Santner swings across the line but only connects with thin air.

Full and wide outside off, just inside the tramline. Mitchell hangs deep and drags it across to long on for a single.

That should have been left alone by Santner. Attempted wide yorker, ends up being a full toss that seems to be landing beyond the cut strip. Santner reaches for it and toe-ends it back towards the stumps at the other end. The ball deflects away and they get a single.

OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent judgment in the deep from the substitute fielder and Shivam Dube picks up a wicket as well. Slower one, on a good length and outside off. Daryl Mitchell goes after it but loses his shape and ends up lofting it wide of long off. Ravi Bishnoi runs across the turf to his left and snaffles it, all while keeping his balance.

OUT! CAUGHT! Two in two for Shivam Dube and it's a golden duck on T20I debut for Kristian Clarke. A low full toss, well wide of the off stump. Clarke hangs back and is quick to get across to the off side. He lays into the shot and crunches it flat towards long on. Rinku Singh leaps up a bit and takes a fine catch a few yards inside the ropes.

No hat-trick! Slower delivery, bowled on a good length and outside off. Kyle Jamieson looks to drive but misses.

That's it, it's all over. Dube finishes with a slower one, bowling it a touch fuller on off. Jamieson drills it down to long off and picks up a single. India win by 48 runs.
