India vs New Zealand, Live Cricket Score, 2nd T20I at Auckland: India Restrict Kiwis to 158/8 Cricketnext Staff | Updated: February 8, 2019, 1:10 PM IST 2nd T20I, Eden Park, Auckland 08 February, 2019 LIVE NOW : Toss won by New Zealand (decided to bat) New Zealand 158/8 (20.0) R/R: 7. LIVE BLOGAUTO REFRESH ONOFF OUT: A great finish by the Indians as Khaleel bags another one on the last ball of the innings. Kiwis finish with 158/8 in 20 overs, India need 159 to win. OUT: Khaleel bowls a full delivery in the last over. And then Santner gets a healthy edge and chops the ball on the stumps. This is brilliant by the Indians as the score is 155/7. RUN OUT: India are pulling things back with some brilliant fielding. Vijay Shankar fields the ball in the deep and Ross Taylor is short of the ground. Kiwis are 153/6 in 19 overs. It's a bad ploy to use Hardik as a death bowler and Kiwis are starting to exploit him. Taylor flicks him to a cracking four towards the midwicket boundary. It's 141/5. OUT: After a fine knock de Grandhomme ends up giving a simple catch to Rohit off Hardik. His brilliant 28-ball 50 comes to an end. It's 128/5. SIX, SIX: De Grandhomme has changed the course of this match single-handedly and scored two sixes in the same over of Krunal. That has taken Kiwis to 99/4 in 12.3 overs. Moving on from the controversial LBW decision, Chahal has been introduced into the attack. But Krunal has broken the back of Kiwi batting line up. Here is another one for Krunal as Williamson tries to play across the line and pays the price for it. He is LBW for 20. Kiwis are 50/4. OUT: There is a huge appeal for an LBW against Daryl Mitchell off Krunal, but there is a clear inside edge. But the third umpire has adjudged him out. This is certainly a controversial decision. Anywho, Kiwis are 43/3. OUT: Krunal Pandya comes into the attack and bowls in tandem with brother Hardik. He has straightaway done the trick and accounts for Munro's wicket. Kiwis are 41/2. OUT: Seifert hits Buvneshwar for a four and six in the same over but the bowler strike back and claims a wicket. Seifert dances down the track and edges the ball, that goes straight into the hands of Dhoni. It's 15/1. New Zealand (Playing XI): Tim Seifert(w), Colin Munro, Kane Williamson(c), Daryl Mitchell, Ross Taylor, Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Scott Kuggeleijn, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson Rohit Sharma After Toss: We were looking to bowl first anyway. I know we lost the last game, but chasing has been our strength. We have spoken about what we need to do with bat and ball. Hopefully we can get a win today. We just need to do the right things and do them consistently. We discussed what went wrong in the last game. Hopefully we won't repeat them. We are playing the same team. I know there will be a lot of talk about Krunal and Kuldeep. Kuldeep has been top class for us. TOSS: New Zealand have won the toss and elected to bat first. Once again it looks like a great batting pitch and the Kiwis will look to make the most of it again. After a humiliating 78-run loss against the Kiwis in the first T20I at Wellington, India would like to stage a comeback and level the series. But it will be a tough task for them given that the batting line-up still looks fragile. Hello and welcome to the live blog of the second T20I. OUT: A great finish by the Indians as Khaleel bags another one on the last ball of the innings. Kiwis finish with 158/8 in 20 overs, India need 159 to win.

It's a bad ploy to use Hardik as a death bowler and Kiwis are starting to exploit him. Taylor flicks him to a cracking four towards the midwicket boundary. It's 141/5. Colin de Grandhomme gets to his maiden half-century in T20Is and perishes off the very next ball by hitting it straight to covers. Rohit seems to have hurt his finger in the process. We hope nothing is serious🤞#CricketMeriJaan #NZvIND OUT: After a fine knock de Grandhomme ends up giving a simple catch to Rohit off Hardik.

Australia have another 5 overs to go in the innings.
Ever since that second-ball six Rishabh Pant hit in Nottingham to get off the mark in Test cricket on the England tour, the 21-year-old has earned quite a bit of respect for himself in the Indian dressing room. Perhaps that's why, despite being a flashy batsman who at times has the tendency of playing to the gallery, Pant has been fast-tracked in the Indian ODI as well as in the T20I set-up to address the ongoing middle-order conundrum. Rishabh Pant in action in the 3rd T20I against West Indies. AFP Rishabh Pant in action in the 3rd T20I against West Indies. AFP Presently, he is still a work in progress but on Sunday night in the third T20I against the Windies in Chennai, the Delhi batsman showed the glimpses of his true capabilities with a clinical half-century (58 off 38 balls) in a winning cause. This certainly is his first-ever significant knock in international white-ball cricket. There is a little more than six months left for the World Cup and the team management is yet not decided on its core group of players, especially in the batting department. Hence, irrespective of the format, in recent months whenever the Men In Blue have featured in a white-ball contest, it has been an audition for the youngsters to cement their places in the England-bound flight next year. From this perspective, Pant's matured innings under pressure should improve his chances of featuring in next year's mega tournament. At Chepauk, chasing 182 on a sluggish track, India were 45 for 2 in 5.2 overs when Pant joined Shikhar Dhawan at the crease. The asking rate was almost touching 9.5 and the slow-low conditions were not easy for the new batsman to hit through the line right from ball one. Ad Sponsored by MGID Are You Ready To Change Your Life Today? Hence, the situation demanded some stability from the new man and Pant, going beyond his reputation of being a dasher, decided to hang in there with a more conservative approach. In the past, he had squandered similar opportunities, trying to hit his way out of trouble. But it seems with time, Pant is learning from his mistakes and it was evident on Sunday. The Windies captain Denesh Ramdin bowled his pacers in the middle-overs, right after the powerplay. The likes of Keemo Paul and Kieron Pollard were asked to keep it tight by bowling a stump to stump channel. But Pant was up to the task. To get the feel of the pith, he initially, primarily played the 'V' and concentrated on ones and two. The youngster was playing second fiddle to Dhawan, who was timing the ball beautifully at the other end. In the final 10 overs, India needed 106. With not much dew, the task seemed challenging for the hosts. There was turn on offer for the spinners and pacers were consistently getting some sticky bounce from the surface. With the asking rate climbing, the pressure was mounting, but Pant knew taking the game deep was the key. And when he changed gears, the Windies bowlers found no answer to his onslaught. Along with his power-hitting, the southpaw made a mockery of the field-setting through his innovative scoops and touch play during the course of his maiden T20I fifty. "Actually I am feeling lucky today because after a long time I got runs in T20s for India, specially in a condition like this where I had to score runs," Pant said after the game. "Me and Shikhi bhai [Shikhar Dhawan] were talking it would be difficult for the new batsman to come and score, but unfortunately we got out. I had decided to play according to the situation. I am happy to contribute to the winning cause." However, ideally being one of the designated finishers in the team, Pant should have finished the game off as after his departure, the Windies fought back to make the game interesting and kept India waiting till the last ball of the innings. But this will be a massive learning curve and being a good learner, as we have seen over time, he will only get better. The Indian team seems to have invested a lot on Pant. His inclusion in the T2OI squad at the expense of MS Dhoni, is a huge statement on part of the management. Even in the ODIs, despite a string of low scores, Pant has been trusted with a lot of opportunities in the middle-order. He is one of the most talented cricketers in the country and with match-winning contributions like these, Pant is showing that he belongs at the highest level. And now, with the focus shifting towards the Australia series, it is about time that he comes up with such crucial contributions more often because the expectations have
WICKET! Jasprit Bumrah now strikes for India, that ball quickens onto the bat for Hetmyer and he looks to pull it but only manages a top edge there.

Confusion between Hope and Hetmyer there, this is a big wicket for India. Both players end up on the same end here, Umpires checking just to see who reached the crease first.

Shai Hope gets an early boundary here and not the best of starts this from Krunal Pandya, he got in the big dive there but the ball hits his knee and goes to the boundary. He will not be happy with that for sure. 18:37(IST) Carlos Brathwaite - We would have liked to fielded first as well. Dew might turn out to be a challenge, we need to be expressive and play our brand of cricket. We have a few debutants and some senior players as well, we just need to enjoy ourselves. As I mentioned earlier, we have three debutants, they are all exciting players and it's great chance for them. 18:36(IST) Rohit Sharma - We would like to field first. We have played a lot of cricket here, batting becomes easier in the second half and dew is a factor as well. We need to just focus on our basics and adapt to the different format. It's going to be an exciting series, it's not going to be an easy series.

The ball will come onto the b atsman nicely, the odd ball will grip and turn, the dew factor might not prove to be massive,' 18:17(IST) India’s impressive-run in T20Is • This will be the 1st home T20I for India in 2018. • Since the last World T20 in 2016, India have been on a winning-spree in T20Is. • India has played 12 series and 7 of them were minimum of 3 matches. • India won all the 7 series of 3 or more matches since then, irrespective of home or away.
OUT: There is good movement off the pitch and Indian bowlers are making the most of it. Bumrah gets the ball to come back in a mile and danger-man Shai Hope gets an edge, the ball ricochets back on to the stump. He departs for 0. WIndies are 2/2. OUT: And Windies are off the mark, but courtesy a wide. But Keiran wasn't looking very comfortable and Bhuvneshwar has his first wicket. He swings the ball a mile away from the batsman. The ball takes a healthy edge and India draw first blood. Powell departs for 0. Windies are 1/1. Kohli after the toss said, "We would have bowled first as well. I don't think the wicket will change much but the dew is going to be a massive factor in the second innings. It has been overcast for the last few days and there would be something in the wicket for the few overs. If it is too damp or too dry, the spinners will also come into play and there will be some spin. We are playing with the same team." TOSS: It's toss time now and Kohli an Holder look ready here. Windies have won the toss and elected to bat first. In the last match Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant 162. He missed out on his fourth double ton. After his innings he said, "I never thought of a double hundred. I just wanted to make sure to get as many runs as possible and get the team into a good position. Rayudu told me that you have got a good chance for a double. The CCI can be tricky in terms of chasing and our bowlers did well in getting them out," he remarked. Pothas, a former South African international himself, said the present Windies team is a good fielding unit. "We put in a lot of detail of what to do in any of our skills. These guys, the last time I checked, they're human beings not robots. So we're going to make errors under pressure. That's the nature of the game. "The thing is to have selective amnesia and come back stronger. I thought we fielded pretty well in the last game." Trailing 1-2 in the series, he said the young Windies team is getting better all the time. "It is a very young team. Not just from an international point of view but a volume of 50-over cricket point of view. I think like anything, when you play at this level, whatever sport it might be, it's always going to come down to execution over a long period of time. "Our guys are learning all the time and they're learning at the international level, which is never easy. But they're getting better all the time and importantly they're open to that learning. We're very positive," he India vs West Indies Live Score 5th ODI: Powell, Hope depart without scoring, WI 2 for 2 November 01, 2018 India vs West Indies 5th ODI Live Updates: India's new-ball bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah have struck in their first overs itself with the wickets of the Hello and Welcome to our Live Coverage India vs West Indies Live Score 5th ODI: India look to seal the deal in Thiruvananthapuram (Windies Cricket Photo) 13:58 PM IST Posted by rohan sen First boundary of the match 5.3 overs: Bumrah to Powell, FOUR! Up and Over the infield for the first boundary of the match.

Shai Hope b Bumrah 0 (5 balls). The man in-form, Shai Hope, walks back without troubling the scorers. What a peach to get him.
