Match Summary: Chasing a target of 220, New Zealand got off to a flying. Their openers Finn Allen and Devon Conway gathered 97 runs without losing a wicket. While trashing Indian bowlers all around the ground Allen brought up his half-century in just 50 balls.
Umran Malik then gave his team a big breakthrough as he dismissed Allen for 57 off 54 in the 17th over of the game. Allen’s wicket invited skipper Kane Williamson to the crease. Williamson joined hands with Conway to slam Indian bowlers for boundaries while taking singles at regular intervals.
After 18 overs of play rain stopped the match with Conway unbeaten at 38 off 51 while Williamson at 0 in three balls.
