ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: India vs New Zealand match in Dharamsala on October 22, 2023
After putting New Zealand into bat, Indian pace bowlers were right on the mark to start with against New Zealand, during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match in Dharamsala on October 22.
Mohammed Siraj removed Devon Conway (0) and Mohammed Shami castled Will Young (17) with the New Zealand score on 19.
But after the dimissal of both the openers, it was Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell show.
Daryl Mitchell (130) scored a brilliant century to take New Zealand score to 273 in 50 overs. Jasprit Bumrah (1 for 45), Mohammed Siraj (1 for 45) and Mohammed Shami (5 for 54) took wickets for India apart from Kuldeep Yadav. Playing in his first match of this World Cup, Mohammed Shami finished with a five-wicket haul. Mohammed Shami became the first Indian to take five wickets in a World Cup match.
Daryl Mitchell became the second New Zealand batsman to score a century against India in a World Cup match after Glenn Turner (174) in 1975.
Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell started off slowly and both the batsmen then took off with spinners in action. They were really harsh on Kuldeep Yadav who leaked runs. Indeed, India missed the services of Hardik Pandya here. Despite Kuldeep went for runs, he took two wickets for 73 runs. Ravindra Jadeja bowled decently to finish with 0 for 48.
Ravindra and Mitchell added 159 runs for the third wicket and it was Mohammed Shami who came to remove Rachin Ravindra for a brilliant 75 off 87 balls.
