1st ODI: Daryl Mitchell’s 84 Helps New Zealand Set 301-run Target For India
Kotambi International Stadium: Daryl Mitchell was New Zealand’s star batter, as his 71-ball 84 helped the side reach a decent 300/8 in 50 overs and overcome the Indian bowlers’ late carnage in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Kotambi International Stadium (BCA).
After being put in to bat, New Zealand started quietly and sluggishly, with openers Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls proceeding cautiously. However, once they picked up pace, the Indian bowlers’ struggles began as they failed to get the first breakthrough.
Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Washington, and Kuldeep Yadav all faced the heat as the openers reached their half-centuries off consecutive deliveries in the 20th over. The two went on to share an unbeaten 100-run stand, the first 100-plus opening stand for New Zealand away from home since 2019, as the Kiwis scored 104 runs in 20 overs without losing a wicket.
