In an epic clash of titans, India triumphed over New Zealand at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, securing victory by four wickets. Once again, Virat Kohli showcased his exceptional skill, amassing an impressive 95 runs off 104 balls. However, his bid for a century was thwarted as he handed a straightforward catch to Glenn Philips while attempting a six. He must await another opportunity to join the esteemed ranks of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in the realm of ODI centuries.
Kohli departed when India needed just five more runs for victory. In the clutch moment, Mohammed Shami took a single off the fifth ball of Matt Henry’s over, and Ravindra Jadeja delivered the decisive blow with a four on the final ball, sealing the win. Jadeja’s crucial contribution amounted to 39 runs off 44 balls.
Earlier in the game, Shami delivered a stellar performance, claiming an impressive five wickets. His outstanding feat earned him a well-deserved Man of the Match award for his five-wicket haul. On the New Zealand side, Daryl Mitchell delivered a standout innings, scoring 130 runs off 127 balls, featuring an impressive array of nine fours and five sixes.
