Midway Scenario

 314 all out might say that it was the same old story all together India bowling first leaking runs again and in the end might even lose the match. But if you saw the match today you'll have to agree that it was surely not the way it looks like. Ya India did bowl lose in the beginning but then it was also about some very sensible batting from Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill.

  NZ were cruising at one stage at 189/1 in 32.4 overs when actually the slide started. And it all began from the wicket of Kane Williamson. After a superb partnership of 153 runs Williamson had to pay the price for being too cheeky. And at one stage they were 270-6 in 42.4 Overs where again Indian pulled it off to reduce NZ for 289/9 and it was only after Tim Southee's last overs cameo that they could actually cross 300!!

  Small ground on either side of wicket.. One side being 48 meters,uneven and very quick outfield with bowl coming on to the bat nicely this surely seemed a wicket where NZ after being in the position they were in would score in excess of 340. Martin Guptill was elegant and his straight six of Shami was surely the class with which he batted
