Arshdeep Singh (0/16 in seven overs) was also impressive with the ball. Their previous lowest was 142 in Auckland in 1994, when India won the match by seven wickets. Score Venue Year 134 Wellington 2026 142 Auckland 1994 157 Napier 2019 168 Wellington 2003 185 Auckland 2026 India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bowl first. The match was reduced to 47 overs per side after rain delayed the start. He made just six off 17 balls before Arshdeep dismissed him with a delivery that moved away after pitching and took the outside edge. The left-hander scored 11 off 26 balls before Kamboj bowled him in the ninth over. Mitchell scored 55 off 104 balls, while Santner made 31 off 38 deliveries.
He kept things tight and gave the New Zealand batters very little room to score. Will Young also struggled to score runs. Henry Nicholls was the next batter to go. The Haryana pacer came slightly wide of the crease and bowled a delivery that did not give Nicholls enough room to play his shot. The tall pacer picked up two wickets in a maiden over after the powerplay. He first dismissed Tom Latham with a wide short-pitched delivery. The New Zealand captain had to reach out for the ball and could only offer an easy catch.
Mitchell had earlier been dropped by Gill and made the most of the opportunity to score a half-century.
