*Official* 2025–26 New Zealand white-ball tour of India

Pant injured, replaced in squad by Jurel.

Well then let's see if Nicholls and Young can help us towards that 350+ we desperately need.

 

[King Kane]

India should be pretty strong favourites to win this match and the series looking at the two teams, they are much closer to full strength than we are.

 

[ataraxia]

Excellent tactical drop of Nicholls.

 

[TheBrand]

100%. They're taking Finn Allen on a wing and a prayer that he might catch fire at the right time. Finn Allen's scores in the last T20 World event - 0, 26, 9, 0. Leave him out of the side and let him either a) throw toys and tour the world playing games no one follows or b) become more available.

Think it's pretty unfair to single out his performance at that World Cup given the performance of the rest of our batters was equally as bad.

Conway 33*
Nicholls 33* @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Neil Young]

Excellent tactical drop of Nicholls.

Nicholls has made a career out of making the most of his drops. Quite incredible.

Fair do's to him, though.

 

[ataraxia]

This all feels a little depressing because we need close to 400 to be favourites. Missing Ravindra's quick striking.

Does Henry Nicholls only plays when main players are injured??

 

[Neil Young]

Henry Nicholls 50*. Hilarious.

 

[Neil Young]

Lovely shot, Devon. Great way to being up his 50.

 

[ataraxia]

Terrible dismissal.

Yeah that's a disappointing way to get out having just bopped Harshit through mid-wicket the previous 2 balls.

Last over:

[Moss]

Good stuff from Harshit though Conway will feel he’s thrown away a sure-shot chance of a century. Vulnerable against the incoming delivery no matter how set he is it would seem.

 

[Neil Young]

I do forget what a good player Mitchell is. Some quality shots.
