"shubman-gill"

Gill scored a steady 90, while Pant blasted a quick-fire 60 off 60 balls, setting India up for a substantial lead. However, New Zealand bowlers kept striking at regular intervals, and India collapsed from 180/4 before lunch to 263 all out in 59.4 overs, securing just a 28-run lead. Washington Sundar contributed an unbeaten 38 off 36 balls, but India’s innings, which looked promising, crumbled as they lost six wickets for 83 runs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill put together a half-century partnership for the second wicket, with Jaiswal surviving some tense moments to score 30 runs off 52 balls, including four boundaries. They added 53 runs together before Jaiswal was bowled by Ajaz Patel while attempting a reverse sweep. India's woes deepened when nightwatchman Mohammed Siraj was trapped LBW by Patel for a golden duck, followed by Virat Kohli's run-out for just four runs.
