India’s Collapse: All Out for 46
Team India was embarrassed on the second day of the first Test match against New Zealand. This has never happened in the history of Test cricket at home with Team India. Team India’s innings ended with just 46 runs. This is the lowest score of Team India in the home country. Only two from Team India could reach double figures. 5 people could not even crack a pumpkin. So three scored nominal runs. Matt Henry took the most wickets from New Zealand with 5 wickets.
New Zealand’s Bowling Brilliance
Matt Henry was the star of the day, taking 5 wickets and leading New Zealand’s bowling attack. William O’Rourke also contributed with 4 wickets, while Tim Southee took one wicket to keep the pressure on India.
