In one of the most rivetting one-day internationals yet played‚ New Zealand beat India by 18 runs in their interrupted semi-final at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
The first of those balls‚ the 11th of the day‚ was bowled by Jasprit Bumrah and smeared to midwicket by Ross Taylor — who turned for two but couldn’t beat Jadeja’s precise pick-up-and-throw for a direct hit on the only stump he could see. Sharma edged the fourth ball he faced‚ a pearler of an out-swinger from Matt Henry‚ and was caught behind. Not for 56 innings in the format has he had a shorter innings; a stream of success that started in August 2017.
India’s captain‚ a Goliath of the game‚ had been downed by a sliver of the ball as small as David’s pebble. He fumed off the field like Daddles the duck himself‚ shaking his head as he went. It ended when Pant could fake it no longer and heaved left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner to long on. Santner did for Pandya in similar fashion‚ and also for Pant’s score of 32.
