Fast bowler pins down host nation’s middle order

Bumrah had figures of 3/12 from four overs and clamped down on New Zealand’s middle order as they were building nicely towards India’s total of 163/3. The fast bowler put the hosts under immediate pressure that dried up the runs and forced New Zealand to take risks against the other bowlers. The loss ruined Taylor’s personal milestone of becoming the first New Zealand male player to appear in 100 Twenty20 internationals. The 35-year-old, who has also played 99 Tests and 228 ODIs, is now on track to become the first player to make 100 appearances in all three formats in the first Test of the two-match series in Wellington from February 21-25.
