India and New Zealand are facing each other in the 21st match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. Rohit Sharma, captain of India, invited New Zealand to begin batting after winning the toss. Early in the innings, Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami affirmed the decision by dismissing openers Devon Conway (0 off 9) and Will Young (17 off 27).
Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell, however, salvaged the game for their team with an outstanding 159-run partnership. After establishing themselves, the pair assaulted the Indian bowling and made effective use of the dropped catches. It all began with Mohammed Shami bowling the fifth delivery of the tenth over. Ravindra, who was on 12 runs off the seamer (21 balls), was compelled to hit one that deflected directly to Ravindra Jadeja at point.
Nevertheless, to the dismay of all, the finest fielder for India failed to convert a sitter. Jasprit Bumrah dropped Daryl Mitchell for a life while he was ahead in the innings at 70 in the 33rd over against Kuldeep Yadav. Mitchell was lost at long off. Mitchell delivered a flighted delivery towards long off on the fifth delivery of the over; however, Bumrah was unable to seize the ball in time for it to travel over for a boundary.
