2nd ODI Recap
India A beat New Zealand A with a tricky four-wicket triumph in the second unofficial One-Day at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.
Kuldeep Yadav's hat-trick and a chase, replete with thrills and spills, ensured Sanju Samson's men took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Chasing New Zealand's 219-run total - a marginal improvement from the first match - India A was off to a blazing start with Prithvi Shaw's quickfire half-century. A middle-order collapse meant that the lower-order all-rounders Shardul Thakur (25 n.o.) and Rishi Dhawan (22 n.o.) had to intercept and save the day.
Ravindra, Carter fifties help NZ cross 200
After crumbling to 27 for five inside the PowerPlay in the previous match, NZ skipper Robert O Donnell remained confident as he chose to bat on a fresh strip. Sanju Samson's side fielded three changes with Kuldeep Sen - the wrecker-in-chief in the first match - being replaced by all-rounder Raj Bawa. Rahul Chahar and Tilak Varma also received a place in the XI.
In Sen's absence, Umran Malik was promoted from first-change to open the attack alongside Shardul Thakur. Featuring in just his third List A match, Umran showed signs of improvement when he began his spell with a maiden. Kiwi opener Chad Bowes struck three boundaries inside the first six overs but eventually slashed one to Tilak at point off Umran for 15. Skipper Samson took to spin in the ninth over with leggie Rahul Chahar. Chahar struck almost instantly as he dismissed Dane Cleaver for 9.
The situation opened doors for another collapse before Joe Carter and Rachin Ravindra salvaged a response. While Carter dropped anchor, Rachin took on the bowlers with occasional boundaries across the square. The southpaw breezed to his fifty in 53 balls as New Zealand crossed the 100-run mark in 21 overs. However, India struck back in the space of three balls in the next over.
New Zealand undermined Dhawan's uncanny lines and paid the price. Dhawan cramped up Rachin on 61 when he attempted to cut and found Ruturaj Gaikwad at point. Skipper Robert O Donnell fell for a two-ball duck as he dragged one onto the stumps with Dhawan completing a double-wicket maiden.
Meanwhile, Carter trudged at the other end as he lost Tom Bruce (10) and Sean Solia (28) to Bawa and Kuldeep within the next 10 overs. Carter struck his first boundary - a six - to move into the 40s. With wickets tumbling at the other end, Carter loosened up to hit two more maximums against Kuldeep before Chahar eventually dismissed him for 72.
Kuldeep, Umran impress
Umran was effective in the brief spells during the middle phase as he registered figures of 8-1-34-1. He was conscious of keeping the ball away from the shorter lengths and proved to be difficult for the batters to deal with.
With Shardul proving ineffective in his second and third spells, Samson resorted to Kuldeep towards the death. The left-armer deceived Logan Van Beek with a slower delivery that took the leading edge to Shaw at cover. Joe Walker was caught behind by Samson as Kuldeep went full and straight to find the outside-edge next ball. The 27-year-old Kuldeep, who has been in and out of the national side in limited-overs, capped off a hat-trick as he skid the ball through length to trap Jacob Duffy and bundled New Zealand with the last ball of his spell (4/51).
Ballistic Shaw
With two packed stands of raucous spectators in sight, Shaw and Gaikwad put on a blitzkrieg that dazed the New Zealand bowlers after the lunch break. Shaw sped off the blocks with a swivel-pull for four in the first over from Duffy. Gaikwad got into the act in the second over when he flicked Van Beek through mid-on for four. The pair raced to a 50-run stand in 37 balls with Shaw acing a one-handed six over mid-wicket against Solia.
The Mumbai batter pummeled every bowler that came along and notched up his fifty off just 26 balls with another six. New Zealand received a breather when it dismissed Gaikwad for 31 but that did not deter Shaw, who upped the ante with Rajat Patidar. Shaw, who racked up two centuries in the Duleep Trophy over the last two weeks, looked set for a List A century before being caught flailing on 77 off 48 deliveries and triggered concerns in the Indian camp.
