New Zealand vs India , 2nd T20I at Hagley Oval, Christchurch , IND in NZ, 5 T20Is, 2026 , Oct 24, 2026 Scorecard

19.6: Prince Yadav to Michael Bracewell, FOUR! A boundary to end the innings. New Zealand finish on 180/5. Prince dishes out the off-cutter, on the shorter side, around off. Bracewell sets up for the scoop and stands across the stumps on the off side. He waits for the ball to arrive and gets the scoop over the keeper's head for a boundary. 9 runs off the over, so not that bad an over from Yadav.

19.5: Prince Yadav to Mitchell Santner, Back to attempting the yorker, it comes out as a low full toss, on the pads. The ball dips on Santner and he can't get it away. A leg bye is taken as the ball thuds into the pads and rolls towards the leg side.

19.4: Prince Yadav to Mitchell Santner, On a shortish length, another slower one. Santner waits for it this time before dragging the pull to the right of deep square leg for a couple of runs.

19.3: Prince Yadav to Mitchell Santner, Good change-up by Prince. It is the off-cutter into the wicket at 110 kph. Santner does not pick the change of pace and swings early for the pull. Can only connect with thin air.

19.2: Prince Yadav to Mitchell Santner, Nails another yorker, at the toes. Santner gets the front leg out of the way and digs it out in the vacant mid-wicket region. Yadav goes after the ball himself but cannot prevent the batters from taking the second run.

19.1: Prince Yadav to Mitchell Santner, Prince spots Santner backing away and he follows him with a yorker. Santner can only jam it out to the right of the bowler.

18.6: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Michael Bracewell, SIX! High and handsome. Reddy switches to around the wicket and serves it right in the slot, angled in at the pads. Bracewell needs no second invitation as he picks it up off the pads and parks it onto the grass banks beyond deep mid-wicket.

18.5: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Bevon Jacobs, OUT! TAKEN! Bevon Jacobs will be gutted with himself. The timing has been off all night for Jacobs and he holes out eventually. Reddy goes searching for the yorker but it comes out as a full toss, on middle. Jacobs looks to go downtown but the bat turns in his hand, and he spoons it straight down the throat of Axar Patel at long off, who takes the catch around his waist. Bevon looks at his bat as he trudges off.

18.4: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Bevon Jacobs, A pinpoint yorker, tailing back in, on middle. Bevon squeezes it out down the strip.

18.3: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Bevon Jacobs, On the fuller side, angled in at the sticks. Jacobs powers the drive down to long on, where Tilak Varma moves to his left and gets low but he fumbles and allows a second run to be taken.

18.2: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Bevon Jacobs, Slower one, following the batter, on a good length. Jacobs makes room and swings to go down the ground but is beaten past the outside edge.

18.1: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Bevon Jacobs, SIX! Up, up and away! Reddy takes pace off and goes into the wicket. This sits up to be hit for Jacobs, who stands tall, waits for the ball to arrive and wallops it over long off for half a dozen.

17.6: Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, OUT! TAKEN! Wicket number 38 for Arshdeep Singh in 2026 and he goes past Bhuvneshwar Kumar for most T20I wickets for India in a calendar year. End of a top knock by Glenn Phillips. Singh sticks to the wide line and has the field set accordingly. Phillips hangs deep in the crease and is made to reach out. He has a swing at it to go big on the off side but the shot is hit into the wind and it goes only as far as deep cover, where Naman Dhir does the rest.

17.6: Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, Wide! Drifts beyond the tramline. Phillips lets it be.

17.5: Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, Pace off and the length is pulled back. Phillips reaches out and goes inside out over extra cover. He does not quite get hold of it but manages to clear extra cover.

17.4: Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, Untidy in the field. Going away with the angle, low full toss. Phillips carves it away towards deep backward point. A wayward throw by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as it goes between the onrushing keeper and the bowler, right in the middle of the surface. That allows the batters to sneak in the second run.

17.3: Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, FOUR! Arshdeep misses his mark but Phillips does not. Low full toss, on off. Phillips takes it on the full and just swings through the line, hitting it well wide to the right of Tilak Varma at long off for a four. The 150 is up for New Zealand.

17.2: Arshdeep Singh to Glenn Phillips, Full and angled away. Phillips swings through the line and launches it towards wide long off. Tilak Varma is quick to his left and slides to mop it up. Two runs taken.
