India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy Final So Far: Toss Woes, Early Blows, and a Game on the Edge!
At this point, India losing the toss is basically tradition. Fourteen tosses lost in a row? That’s a probability of 1 in 16,384—somewhere, a statistician is shaking their head in disbelief. But hey, a coin flip doesn’t decide the Champions Trophy Final, the cricket does. And so far, it’s been a gripping contest between India vs New Zealand.
IND vs NZ Final: First Innings Breakdown
With the coin (predictably) favoring them, New Zealand vs India kicked off with the Kiwis opting to bat first. Will Young and Rachin Ravindra walked out looking sharp, and for a while, they were cruising. Rachin, in particular, wasted no time, finding boundaries and keeping the scoreboard ticking.
But then, Varun Chakravarthy decided enough was enough. The mystery spinner worked his magic, breaking the opening stand by sending Young back to the pavilion. Just when New Zealand thought they could rebuild, Kuldeep Yadav stepped in and flipped the script. He got rid of the dangerous Rachin Ravindra and then, the big fish—Kane Williamson. Two huge wickets in quick succession, and suddenly, India had their tails up.
NZ vs IND Score at Drinks Break
At the 15-over mark, New Zealand vs India stands at 83/3, and the game is perfectly poised. The pitch has some bite for the spinners, and with India’s bowling attack settling into a rhythm, the next few overs could be make-or-break for the Kiwis. Will New Zealand consolidate, or will India tighten their grip on the game?
