India’s First Innings Batting Collapse
India’s lower-order batting struggles were evident against New Zealand, as their performance remained weak in the second innings as well. New Zealand batted first and was all out for 259 runs, but India couldn’t reach close to that target. India managed to score only 156 runs in their first innings, with the Indian captain returning to the pavilion with zero runs. Ravindra Jadeja was the top scorer for India, making 38 runs off 46 balls, which included 2 sixes and 3 fours.
On the other side, New Zealand’s Santner claimed a remarkable 7 wickets, while Glenn Phillips took 2 wickets, and Southee secured 1 wicket
