On a slow Dubai pitch where the turn for spinners was just around two degrees, Chakaravarthy provided India their first breakthrough by trapping Will Young lbw with a leg-break, before castling Glenn Phillips with a googly. Eventually, New Zealand made 251\/7 in their 50 overs, setting India a target of 252 if they are to win the trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt was a good wicket compared to the last one. It was not turning much. I was just trying to stick it in the wicket and wait for the batter to make a mistake,\u201d said Chakaravarthy in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chakaravarthy was a part of the high-quality Indian spin quartet picking five wickets while conceding 144 runs in 38 overs, while the fast bowlers bowled 12 overs for 104 runs and got just one wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI like bowling in the death and powerplay. It is challenging and gives me more opportunity to get a wicket. I like talking to Kuldeep, and even to Jaddu bhai and Axar. I am pretty new to the setup and looking to build more bonds,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
During the end of his spell, Chakaravarthy took a blow on his right foot when trying to save a straight drive from Daryl Mitchell off his own bowling. Though he finished his ten overs, Chakaravarthy was seen limping badly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
