New Zealand bowler Tim Milne’s early spell reduced India to 4/19, limiting the total to 191 even though Shreyas Iyer and Rahul Kishan each scored half‑centuries.
New Zealand pacer Tim Milne struck early in the innings, claiming quick wickets that left India reeling at four down for just 19 runs. The early collapse forced the hosts to adopt a cautious approach, and despite a solid partnership later on, they could not recover fully.
Shreyas Iyer and Rahul Kishan steadied the innings with individual half‑centuries, but the damage had already been done. Their contributions helped India inch past the 150‑run mark, yet the total stalled at 191.
Milne finished with impressive figures, underscoring the impact of his opening spell. The low target set the tone for the remainder of the match, putting the visiting side in a commanding position.
