Henry Nicholls is the Player of the Match!

Nicholls: Nice to come out here today and make it 3-0. It’s been good. I have been able to put good partnerships. It was important hitting into the backend. His (Guptill) experience certainly helps me. You sort of play second fiddle out there. We put on a good opening stand in all three victories. After the T20s, we came out and played the brand of cricket we wanted to play.

What a comeback for the Black Caps!

Superbly played, New Zealand. Battered and bruised after Australia, beaten 5-0 in the T20Is against India with more Super Over pain and now take the ODIs 3-0 (without Boult, Ferguson, Henry and, for some of it, Williamson) #NZvIND

Hard to believe given his status as a world-class bowler!

Bumrah finishes the ODI series wicketless. #NZvIND #INDvsNZ

Whitewashes of India in ODIs: (Min. three ODIs)

West Indies (5-0) in India, 1983/84
West Indies (5-0) in West Indies, 1988/89
South Africa (4-0) in South Africa, 2006/07
New Zealand (3-0) in New Zealand, 2019/20*

This was as one sided as the T20Is

Kudos to New Zealand for a remarkably strong comeback after losing 0-5 in the T20 series and whitewashing India. ODIs may not be a priority this year, but such a disappointing, one-sided result was unexpected.

Here are some of the key stats from today’s game

— ODI centuries by Indian keepers outside Asia:

Rahul Dravid v SL, Tauunton, 1999
KL Rahul V NZ, Mount Maunganui, 2020*

— KL Rahul’s ton today was the century by an Indian player batting at No.5 or below since MS Dhoni. He did it against England at Cuttack in January, 2017.

— Martin Guptill now holds the record of scoring most runs for New Zealand as an opener in ODIs, going past Nathan Astle’s 6176 runs.

— This is the first time that India have been whitewashed in a 3-match ODI series.

After 47 overs,New Zealand 296/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 32 , Colin de Grandhomme 54)

Just three singles have been collected from Bumrah’s over. New Zealand want to reach to the target in class. New Zealand need 1 run in 18 balls

After 47 overs,New Zealand 296/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 32 , Colin de Grandhomme 54)

Just three singles have been collected from Bumrah’s over. New Zealand want to reach to the target in class. New Zealand need 1 run in 18 balls

After 46 overs,New Zealand 293/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 31 , Colin de Grandhomme 52)

Shardul Thakur was destroyed in the last over by CdG as he completed his fifty in mere 21 balls. 20 came from the last over as the pacer was hit around the park. When he bowled well, the inside edge escaped the stumps. New Zealand need 4 runs in 24 balls

After 45 overs,New Zealand 273/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 31 , Colin de Grandhomme 33)

It’s just a formality now unless India strike back quickly with couple of wickets. Bumrah has been called back into attack and gives away eight runs. Indian bowlers have been guilty of giving away too many boundary balls and one such fuller delivery was flicked to square leg by CdG. New Zealand need 24 runs in 30 balls

After 44 overs,New Zealand 265/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 29 , Colin de Grandhomme 27)

Saini back into attack. Latham hit a boundary in the over and he did that by dancing down for a slap shot down the ground. That has been story of India in the series. 10 runs come from the over. New Zealand need 32 runs in 36 balls

An impact player out and out

People talk about Colin de Grandhomme being in form or out of form. I don't think that he is ever either. He plays a match-defining innings roughly once every 10 matches. There's no real discernible pattern as to when he's going to do it either. #NZvIND

After 43 overs,New Zealand 255/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 24 , Colin de Grandhomme 24)

Whatever advantage India had is now gone, thanks to CdG and Shardul. The Kiwi all-rounder has changed the dynamics with his big-hitting capabilities while Shardul has been akin to a Santa Claus for the opposition. Short deliveries, wide deliveries have been offered as CdG collected a six and two fours in the over. 15 off it. New Zealand need 42 runs in 42 balls

After 42 overs,New Zealand 240/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 19 , Colin de Grandhomme 14)

Big over this for Kiwis as Chahal leaks 12 runs. A six came on the first ball and that released the pressure. CdG went with the pull shot but it didn’t come off cleanly, fielder gave it a chase but in vain. New Zealand need 57 runs in 48 balls

After 41 overs,New Zealand 228/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 17 , Colin de Grandhomme 4)

Bumrah continues. This probably will be his last over of the spell. He hasn’t taken any wicket so far but these two overs were tight and will help in building the pressure. Just five from this over. There was also a run out opportunity on last ball but Mayank’s throw at bowler’s end was really poor. New Zealand need 69 runs in 54 balls.

After 40 overs,New Zealand 223/5 ( Tom Latham (W) 14 , Colin de Grandhomme 2)

Kohli decides to bring Chahal from th other end to attack and gets the desired result. Neesham was guilty of being careless there as he took the aerial route on the fuller delivery, but could only find the mid wicket fielder. There ws another opportunity in the over as new man in, de Grandhomme went for an ugly heave on leg against a googly from Chahal but it fell short of Saini at deep square leg. Five off the over.

OUT! Neesham c Kohli b Chahal 19(25)

Kohli’s decision to bring Chahal back into the attack has worked in his favour. New Zealand are succumbing here without pressure. There was no need for Neesham to go aerially on the fuller delivery but he did and Kohli had positioned himself at mid wicket just for that catch.

After 39 overs,New Zealand 218/4 ( Tom Latham (W) 12 , James Neesham 19)

So we now have Bumrah into attack. A decent over for the pacer as he gives away just two runs. Three more overs left for the fast bowler as India look for wickets.

Will he? Won’t he?
 

Bumrah now only needs a five-fer in this innings to take more wickets than Shardul in this series.#NZvIND #INDvNZ
