Neesham la S Dube

Four runs. FOUR! James Neesham to Shivam Dube. Leg cutter short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. India's innings comes to a close with a commanding total of 255 on the board. The openers set the tone early, with Sanju Samson continuing his fine form to craft a fluent 89. He was well supported by Abhishek Sharma, while Ishan Kishan added a brisk cameo and Shivam Dube provided fireworks at the death. New Zealand, though, found a spark when James Neesham turned the tide with a remarkable three-wicket over, helping to rein in the scoring momentum. As the chase begins, the question will be whether New Zealand rise to the occasion and secure their maiden T20 World Cup crown, or will the hosts tighten their grip and seize the upper hand in front of their home crowd? The second innings promises high drama.
