New Zealand opener Devon Conway fell to Harshit Rana for just 5 runs. Henry Nicholls was dismissed by Arshdeep Singh, who failed to even open his account. Will Young and Daryl Mitchell then took charge and took the team’s score past 50. Although Harshit dismissed Will Young, Daryl Mitchell held his own at the other end and scored a brilliant century. With this, Mitchell set a major record on Indian soil.
