With the ball, Ravindra maintained pressure through economical spells, grabbing a wicket each in all three ODIs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
New Zealand pacer Jacob Duffy enjoyed a spectacular March, particularly in the five-match T20I series at home against Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Duffy was the leading wicket-taker in the Black Caps\u2019 4-1 series win over Pakistan, claiming 13 wickets at an average of 8.38 and an economy rate of 6.17.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
