After capturing the Jaipur T20, the eyes of Team India will be on the second match to be held in Ranchi on Friday. By winning this match at the JSCA International Stadium, Rohit’s Ranbankure would like to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.
Team India’s win record at Jharkhand Stade Cricket Association Stadium has been 100 percent. The Indian team has won both the T20 matches held here. The first T20 match was played here on 12 February 2016 against Sri Lanka, which was won by 69 runs. The second T20 match was held on 7 October 2017 against Australia, in which the Kangaroo team had to face defeat by nine wickets.
INDvNZ: The second T20 to be held in Ranchi tomorrow will be postponed! the matter reached the court
India is bringing good news
The hosts in Jaipur can take a lot of good things from the first match. Like Rohit Sharma’s stroke-filled 48, apart from Ravichandran Ashwin’s two crucial wickets, Suryakumar Yadav made the most of the opportunity to bat at number three with a 40-ball 62. Also Bhuvneshwar Kumar took two wickets for 24 runs in his four overs.
Why is Martin Guptill, who stared at Chahar for a six, a fan of Ravichandran Ashwin?
New Zealand need not despair
India needed 23 runs in the last four overs in the previous match, which could have given India’s hope of winning soon. But New Zealand’s quick trio of skipper Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson made the match exciting in the final over by conceding just 13 runs in the 17th, 18th and 19th overs. However, apart from the brilliant innings of Martin Guptill (70 off 42 balls) and Mark Chapman (63 off 50 balls), New Zealand will be happy with the performance of their fast bowlers.
