IND vs NZ 2nd T20I

SKY helps IND edge past valiant NZ, level series 1-1

New Zealand managed to drag the match down to the second last ball despite the fact that they were defending just 100 runs. 

SKY 26 of just 31 balls  is a best inning of any batsman in this type of critical situation. Sky deserve to become a man of the match. Of course this is a very small Target game but the interesting thing in this game is that it goes in the last over and second last ball of the over. Captain Pandya will definitely be happy for this when because this is the must win game for India and India did it. Of course the pitch is not supporting for batsman but Indian opener need to do some more effort to make T20 opening partnership better than past otherwise captain Pandya Neet to use some other option in the next game. Prithvi Shaw should we try in the next game he did good in Ranji Trophy.

Rahul Tripathi need to  some consistency in coming games otherwise he will not get more chance in this strong Indian team because there are so many good options are available.

New Zealand of course play very good in the previous game but today was not for its time. We know that which is not supporting batsman but New Zealand players can do some more effort and that can manage at least 140 to 145 it will be a good total for them but the couldn't do it but it give benefit to India and Indian bowler all out New Zealand team on 99 score.

Hello and welcome to the India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I match at the Lucknow Stadium (Ekana Sports City). Hardik Pandya's India in a do-or-die contest against New Zealand after losing the first match of the series.New Zealand are surely looking for revenge after getting clean swept in the ODI series. India need to make a good comeback in the 2nd T20 and level the 3-match series 1-1. The last T20I will take place in Ahmedabad but it could be played for pride if India lose the Lucknow match today.

            The senior players Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav will need to step up. SKY has been in good form, he was unlucky to get out after getting a good start. But Hardik, the captain as well as batter, need to show good form. 

Shubman Gill scored just 7 in the first T20I as he continues to perform poorly in the shortest format of the game despite his brilliant run in ODIs. T20s are hard to crack for Gill it seems. Will Shaw take his place in tonight's match? Head coach Rahul Dravid is a big Shaw fan but Hardik Pandya has said that Gill is team's first-choice opener in T20Is.

         Team India are in a must win situation heading into the second T20I match of the 3-match series if they want to stay alive in the competition. The number 3 batter of India was disappointing in the first match against New Zealand as he got out on duck after playing six balls. India were chasing a total of 177 when Tripathi fell short from his expectations after Ishan Kishan's early dismissal. Arshdeep Singh had a forgettable day in the first T20I between India and New Zealand. However, captain Hardik Pandya and coach Rahul Dravid are likely to trust the death-over specialist pacer.

         Wasim Jaffer suggests that Umran Malik should be dropped from the Playing XI in the second T20I against New Zealand. He suggests Prithvi Shaw or Jitest Sharma should come in the lineup as an extra batter.

        Will Ishan Kishan retain his place or Prithvi Shaw will get a chance to play in the second T20I match against New Zealand. Hardik Pandya informed that Shaw will have to wait for his chance in this series but Kishan's performance in the first game was not promising. 

         Sundar doing beautiful things on field. He picked up 2 for just 22 from his four overs and then smashed 50 off just 28 balls that included 5 fours and 3 sixes to keep India in game. Washington Sundar is showing maturity with both bat and ball and can soon become irreplaceable in the T20Is at least. He needs to continue showing the same hunger.

       After the ICC T20 World Cup last year, Hardik Pandya has been the Team India captain in the format. He has led the team to wins in New Zealand, and against Sri Lanka at home. But India have not dominated these series by any stretch of imagination. At times, especially in chases, one has felt the absence of experience and maybe Rohit and Kohli would have made things far easier. Kohli especially is a solid middle order bat and helps team in chases. But selectors seemed to have moved past them and are looking to build a younger squad for the next World Cup and these youngsters will take time to get used to new roles. 

              Kane Williamson recently stepped down as the T20I skipper of New Zealand after the T20 World Cup 2022. New Zealand are not only missing Williamson but also Trent Boult, Tim Southee.

Suryakumar Yadav bags ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year 2022

 India’s Yadav was in unreal form in the format last year, hitting 68 sixes during 2022: the most by any player in a year in T20I history. In all, he added 1164 runs at an average of 46.56 and a ridiculous strike rate of 187.43.

When was the game of cricket invented?

 Cricket  possibly have begun   the 13th century as a game in which country boys bowled at a tree stump or the hurdle gate into a sheep pen.

Hardik, Santner express 'shock' and 'surprise' at Ranchi pitch

 The two captains were surprised by the new ball offering more turn and how much it spun in the second innings. 

India captain Hardik Pandya was surprised by the way the Ranchi pitch behaved in the T20I series opener against New Zealand on Friday. The pitch offered sharp grip and turn to slower bowlers throughout the game, with the dew factor not making much of an impact in the second innings. Chasing 177, India could manage only 155 for 9, as New Zealand won their first game of the tour.

Washington wasn't too critical of the pitch and suggested that the way it played was just an aberration. "I think it was just a one-off game," he said at the post-match press conference. "I don't think that just because it was spinning so much, we have to address anything. Just that one-off game. Had we got off to a flier or even a better start, things would've been much different. Obviously, it did spin, and you will see such wickets here and there. Obviously, people over here and players in our team have played on such wickets in the IPL and even in the Indian team. So, just that one-off game where certain things didn't go our way and eventually, we couldn't cross the line. They bowled well and they played with three spinners and even their seamers bowled very well."
