T20 fever started with a blow .....yesterday in the warm-up match between India and new Zealand...nzl won the the match with 9 runs....ind and nzl have played 3 T20s so far in which India couldn't even achieve a one victory ...This jinx continued even in the practice match yesterday...
Action :
India have won the toss and elected to field ...mccullum has provided a good start ,but wickets fall at regular intervals...Still even the tail enders contributed by scoring 31 runs in last 2 overs ...ishant sharma took 4 wickets was quit economical provided blow for india at right time ...pragyan ojja was quite expensive but still took critical wickets ...NZL has set up target of 171...
Chasing:
In reply india are off to a flyer thanks 2 the deccan charger rohit sharma..since sehwag is out with injury ghambir and sharma opened the innings...ghambir looked shaky and chucked his wicket away...sharmas furious 36 off 20 balls illuded a victory on cards ...After he got out suresh raina took the job of sharma and scored 45 off 21 balls who dispatched vettori for 2 sixes in an over ...It looked liked victory assured comfortably for india....since the wicket of suresh raina everything turned the 'kiwi way'...finally jadejas even couldnt help india chase the target ...They were short by 9 runs ...Hope india break the jinx soon in the super 8's .
