Ish Sodhi has been declared the Man of the Match. He took two wickets in his four overs for just 17 runs. It was a well deserved win for New Zealand.
31 October 2021, 22:23 PM
New Zealand, riding on solid batting by its top order especially captain Kane Williamson, have won the match by eight wickets. It was quite a comfortable win for them.
31 October 2021, 22:19 PM
A totally clueless Team India has been beaten by New Zealand in all departments today. It's just a matter of time now.
31 October 2021, 22:02 PM
NZ need 28 runs in 10 overs to win this game and they have nine wickets in hand. They way their batsmen are playing, India is far away from any miraculous victory in Dubai. Both--fast bowlers and spinners--are ineffective so far.
31 October 2021, 21:48 PM
New Zealand cruising for a famous and easy victory. With Kane Williamson batting and looking in good touch, NZ doesn't seem in any kind of hurry or problem. They have already scored 60 runs before the eighth over finished. India would be hoping for a miracle now.
31 October 2021, 21:36 PM
Martin Guptill is OUT after a calculated Jasprit Bumrah delivery. Can India come back in the game now?
31 October 2021, 21:26 PM
It all depends on first six overs and whether India can take wickets in the first powerplay! Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy are good so far, but it's really difficult to defend such a small total. Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell don't look in any sort of trouble as of now.
31 October 2021, 21:14 PM
One question that every India fan would be asking is whether 110 can be defended on a wicket like Dubai? If first six overs are tightly delivered then there might be a chance for India.
31 October 2021, 21:03 PM
India's dependency on its top order is totally exposed in this match. Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur tried to accelarate but couldn't. It seems the team might not touch the 120-run mark.
31 October 2021, 20:44 PM
Adam Milne was on target when he pitched a good length ball to Rishabh Pant who missed the trajectory by a long margin. Can India still touch 130?
31 October 2021, 20:21 PM
New Zealand spinner Ish Sodhi is absolutely on point. Virat Kohli wanted to lift him over long on but he couldn't. Kohli is OUT at 9. Now, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya will have to start building the innings from the scratch.
31 October 2021, 20:09 PM
A bad shot off Ish Sodhi has cost Rohit Sharma his wicket. New Zealand are now targetting Rishabh Pant. India struggling at 41/3 after 8 overs.
31 October 2021, 20:02 PM
India struggling against a good planning by New Zealand. Bowlers are targetting weak spots of Indian top order. KL Rahul lost his wicket to Tim Southee. India are now 37/2 after 7 overs.
31 October 2021, 19:54 PM
It's a SIX. Rohit Sharma has started to pick pace and he has chosen Adam Milne for his purpose. He scored 15 runs in one over. Will he bat deep today? India is now 29/1.
31 October 2021, 19:46 PM
A lot is happening with India in this match. Ishan Kishan lost his wicket to smart bowling by Trent Boult. He departs at 4.
Rohit Sharma almost lost his wicket, but he was dropped on first ball.
31 October 2021, 19:29 PM
New zealand have also released the list of final 11 players and it looks like a really strong team.

India will have to be very careful about certain things in Dubai, which is a high scoring ground.
Hear what Mohammad Kaif has to say about this.
31 October 2021, 18:21 PM
New Zealand have an edge over India in T20I matches. NZ have won 8 out of the 16 clashes between the two team, while India won in 6. Two games remained unfinished. Both teams have the batting firepower, but India can do wonders on its day.

All the eyes will be on Kohli's captaincy today. He defended Shami after social media trolling in a long post. Now is the turn of his team to get India back in the tournament.

Virat Kohli and Team India will be looking for a revival of their top game in the match against New Zealand in Dubai today. Pakistan is already on top of charts, but the second place is still open for grab. Will India be able to do it?
