The India vs New Zealand match that is being played in Dambulla, would have swayed to yet another disappointing performance thanks to the top order if it hadn’t been for Sehwag. The live score of the Ind vs NZ match stands with Sehwag at an unbeaten 66 off 56 balls. The batsman who had earlier been denied his deserving century by the Sri Lankans is now in full form and has smashed his bat for al its worth to knock 10 boundaries.

Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had won the toss earlier and decided to bat first in this Ind vs. NZ tri-series match. The Indian top order which comprised of the younger batsmen fell like nine pins with Dinesh Karthik going out first with a duck. He was caught by the New Zealand wicketkeeper Hopkins off Kyle Mills. Next to go was Virat Kohli who got out in a manner similar to Karthik and this time off pacer Tim Southee. It seems he was reluctant to return to the pavilion with the dismal score of 8 runs and was eyeing the umpire Ashoka de Silva in disbelief.

Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina fell pray to some excellent wicket keeping by Hopkins and fielding by the NZ team. The Indian batting line-up had its fault and included some out-of-form players like Ravindra Jadeja. Pragyan Ojha was dropped and Rohit Sharma replaced by Kohli.

The New Zealand team played well inspite of injuries preventing their better players like Jacob Oram & Daryl Tuffey from playing. Tim Southee and Andy McKay took their places in the Ind vs. NZ match today.

Live score of the Ind vs. NZ match showed that Dhoni was still in charge with his 13 runs. This takes the Indian score to 101 off 20 overs. Till now 4 batsmen have returned to the pavilion.

Teams:

India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt), Dinesh Karthik, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma Ashish Nehra Munaf Patel.

New Zealand: Ross Taylor (capt), Martin Guptill B J Watling, Kane Williamson Scott Styris Grant Elliott Gareth Hopkins, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Tim Southee, Andy McK
