Significantly, in this match, New Zealand won the toss and invited India’s captain Shikhar Dhawan (Shikhar Dhawan Captain Team India IND vs NZ, 2022) to bat first. Indian batsmen did well and the target was not very easy. But, when it came to India’s bowling line-up, everyone except Umran Malik looked flawless. Got beaten up by the New Zealand batsmen. And, Team India had to face defeat by 7 wickets in the first match of this 3-match ODI series against New Zealand.
well played @BLACKCAPS 👏🏽 Made 300 look like 270. Williamson all class as always but Latham stole the show. Not easy for an opener to move down the order and still be successful. India missed a trick by just playing 5 bowlers. #NZvIND pic.twitter.com/bcGnf6K5Ry
