India Vs New Zealand, 1st ODI: In the first ODI played in Auckland, Indian bowlers performed very poorly due to which they had to face defeat.
Indian team will have to rectify the mistakes
After losing the match in Auckland, the Indian team will come on Sunday with the intention of making a comeback in the ODI series. The second T20 match against New Zealand is to be played in Hamilton. Apart from the slow batting of the Indian team in the first match, its poor bowling became the reason for the defeat. India scored 306 runs batting first but their bowlers failed to defend it and New Zealand achieved the target before 50 overs.
In the first ODI, Dhawan (72 off 77 balls) and Gill (50 off 65 balls) shared a 123-run partnership for the first wicket, but a score of 306 for seven on a small ground like Eden Park required at least 40 runs. remained less than The bowlers lost these runs in just 47 overs, due to which the responsibility falls on the main batsmen because if Washington Sundar had not made a brilliant contribution, India would not have been able to even reach the figure of 300 runs. This was largely due to the cautious approach of the Indian openers in the first 10 powerplay overs which did not yield the required runs.
Rishabh Pant under pressure to perform
Rishabh Pant’s strike rate and average is much better in ODIs than in T20 Internationals but the vice-captain needs to be more consistent in this series to stay ahead of Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan for wicketkeeping who will definitely be in their best shape. are close. Indian fast bowlers have bowled very little on the pitch of Eden Park.
Indian bowlers need to do something different
He needs to find a way to compete with Tom Latham and Kane Williamson. Both these players have been very consistent against India in this format. Umran Malik was effective bowling at 145 kmph, Arshdeep Singh struggled despite his ability to get swing and Shardul Thakur didn’t do well either. The toss will also play an important role as it becomes easier to bat at Seddon Park in the evening. If the Indian team chases the target then it will be good for them as the spinners will not have to face the problem of dew in the evening. It has to be seen whether Kuldeep Yadav is tried in place of Yuzvendra Chahal or not.
