He did well with the bat offering company to Taylor & then picked up his maiden odi wicket of Shaw & bowled a very good line & was very impressive. A bowler for the future. New Zealand batting first started off well with Guptill & Latham & then Indian bounced back wonderfully well, but Ross Taylor bided his time & took them to a fighting total, which was enough in the end. Indian batting started aggressively right from the beginning, but Iyer & Rahul were guilty of playing indiscreet strokes. Jadeja & Saini, especially surprising all with his batting added 76 runs for the 8th wicket to give hope to India, but finally, Kiwis were the victors.

India won the t20 series v New Zealand by winning the 3rd t20 in the super over with Rohit hitting 2 sixes of the last 2 balls, when everything seemed lost with 10 needed of the last 2. Earlier, in India,s innings, Rohit got himself into form with a rollicking innings of 65 of 40 balls with 6 fours & 3 sixes. In the chase of 179, New Zealand were led by a beautiful innings from their captain Williamson, who played with calm assurance, playing his best t20 innings, making 95 of just 48 balls with 8 fours & 6 sixes. Bumrah, who had a rare off day was collared by Williamson, leaking 45 runs of 4 overs. Williamson truly deserved a ton, but got out, sadly. With 9 runs needed of the last over to win, Shami was given the task & his first ball disappeared for a six. Task became easy, but Shami came back, bowling dot balls & with just 1 run needed with scores tied, Shami nailed it by clean bowling Taylor, leading into the super over.

England left the South African first innings in absolute tatters on day 2 of the final test at the Bull ring, the Wanderers ground at 88 for 6 with Wood clocking extreme speeds to pick up 3 wickets. Earlier, England who were rocked in the early stages of the 2nd day morning by pacer Nortje recovered magnificently through a breezy partnership for the 10th wicket between Wood & Broad who hit a lot of sixes between them to pivot the English total to the magical 400 runs mark. Stokes escaped a ban with the ICC being a bit liberal by only enforcing a fine on him. Its high time Stokes tries to control himself and not commit any further cases like this, as England always need him to play. Nortje picked up his maiden 5 wicket haul in tests, which was very impressive & he filled up beautifully for the absence of Rabada, serving a one match ban. De Kock 32 not out would have to get the solid company of the all rounders Philander in his swansong test & Pretorious to get South Africa out of jail on the 3rd day of the final test.
