IND vs NZ: India suffer collapse; Shivam Dube hits brutal fifty

India had a disappointing start to chase with Abhishek Sharma getting out on the first ball. Soon after that, captain Suryakumar Yadav fell for eight as India came under pressure. Sanju Samson (24) tried to get going but his poor form continued. Rinku Singh (39), who walked out at four, played a vital hand but fell after a good start.

At one stage, India were struggling at 82 for five, and it was then that Shivam Dube (65) ignited the hopes of Indian fans. He slammed a 15-ball fifty and seemed to have taken the game away from New Zealand.

But, his unfortunate run out at non striker’s end changed the game as Black Caps asserted their authority. They ended India’s innings at 165 to win the game by 50 runs. With this win, the IND vs NZ series is now at 3-1 in favour of India.
