New Zealand A lost the toss and came to the crease. Shardul started his wicket-hunting by clean bowling the opener Chod Bowes.

Captain Robert O’Donnell (22) tried to hold on, but Sanju caught Shardul’s ball and returned. With Sean Solia (5) run out and Logan van Beek dismissed by Kuldeep Singh Yadav, New Zealand, who fell to 74-8, thought they would not even cross 100, but Rippon and Walker combined for the ninth wicket and added 89 runs to give some dignity to the Kiwis score. After Walker was run out, Shardul himself ended the Kiwis’ innings by dropping Ripon.
