OUT! Mark Chapman 14 (21) run out. Another reverse sweep goes up. Kuldeep slips while attempting the catch. A mix-up between Chapman and Bracewell and Chapman was in the middle of the pitch when Kuldeep lobbed the ball to Ishan Kishan for an easy runout. NZ 60-5

NZ skipper Santner won the toss and opted to bat first. Kiwis retain team from the first T20
29 January 2023 10:23 PM IST
Pitch report: One of the bigger grounds in India. 69m square on one side, 67m on the other side and 77m today for the straight hit, says Danny Morrison. Ajit Agarkar has his say too: It has a tacky look to it. It is a red soil pitch like Mumbai. If there is grip or movement off the pitch it will be quick and the batter will not have time. Fairly firm pitch. Team batting second would be hoping for dew, if not, this could be difficult to bat on.
