IND vs NZ: In the first ODI match played between India and New Zealand, Team India did a great batting but the performance of the bowlers of Team India was not special due to which Team India had to face defeat by 7 wickets in the first match. Batting first, Team India scored 306 runs on the scoreboard. For India, three batsmen scored half-centuries. But 306 runs fell short in front of the batting of Tom Latham and Kane Williamson. Even after the defeat in the match, captain Shikhar Dhawan while talking said that we need to improve our bowling a bit.
What did captain Shikhar Dhawan say about the defeat in the match
Talking to the media after the defeat in the first match against New Zealand, Shikhar Dhawan said that we felt good overall. The ball in the first 10-15 overs did a lot. It is a bit different from other grounds. Plan has to be made accordingly. Today we bowled short of length and Latham attacked us there. That’s where they took the game away from us, especially in the 40th over. He further said that this is where the momentum changed. It’s really fun to play here. Would have been happier if we had won but that is part of it. They are all young boys and there is a lot to learn for them. We need to execute our plans more intelligently on the bowling side and fielding side and make sure we don’t let the batsmen play to their strengths.

What did New Zealand captain Williamson say
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson after a resounding win in the first match said that the target given by India was a good score and the wicket was starting to turn a bit. And the cross-seamers got a little out of it. But as we know on this ground if you have partnerships you can chase down any score. Brilliant innings from Latham, we are talking about this over and that over in the middle, on this ground with a drop-in pitch, if you bowl well and straight, it can be difficult to take the ball away a little bit. One of the most special ODI knocks I have seen so far and it was a very good wicket. As we saw, spin played a big role. It felt good to win.
