In the second Twenty20 International that was held in this location, India defeated New Zealand by a score of 65 runs after being propelled to a score of 191 for six by Suryakumar Yadav incredible unbeaten 111 off 51 balls.
“Many of the world’s best cricketers have come from India, including some of the best Twenty20 players ever. Surya has had a wonderful year, and in order for him to keep having such success, he needs to keep doing what he has been doing (for a considerable amount of time) “When asked if Suryakumar is the finest Twenty20 player from India that Southee has ever bowled to, Southee responded that he is.
“Not only in the Twenty20 format, but also in the Test, ODI, and IPL, India has produced a large number of phenomenal cricket players. There are a great number of players on your team who have been active for a significant amount of time and who have accomplished a great deal during that time.”
Suryakumar Yadav an Indian hitter who is 32 years old and now batting number three, toyed with the New Zealand bowlers, who appeared to have no idea what was going on as the Indian batter produced some spectacular strokes.
He scored his last 64 runs off of just 18 balls, smashing boundaries and sixes at will. The exciting innings he played had 11 fours, seven sixes, and an astounding strike rate of 217.64.
“He (Suryakumar) is a player who has a variety of different techniques to hit the ball. Over the course of the past year, he has been in outstanding form in both the Indian Premier League and international cricket.
Today, he had a pretty remarkable knock come out of nowhere, “added Southee, who finished his four overs with the statistics of 3/34 from his bowling.
During the penultimate over, which was bowled by Lockie Ferguson, Suryakumar went on a rampage, smashing four boundaries and a magnificent six over deep point. This was the over that decided the game. The final five overs produced a total of 72 runs.
In the game, Southee did have some shining moments. He bowled an outstanding 20th over and then took a hat trick, which slowed down the rate at which runs were being scored. In quick succession, he took wickets against Washington Sundar, Deepak Hooda, and Hardik Pandya.
“It’s a great feeling to bowl the final over, even though I had a little bit of luck there. There are times when you bowl exceptionally well but don’t get the benefits for it, but today is not one of those instances (it was different). It’s just a normal part of the game “explained the 33-year-old bowler who has played in 106 Twenty20 International matches and has 132 wickets to his name.
When Southee was asked if it was difficult for the players to play in the rainy conditions, he responded, “It is never ideal, but both teams are forced to cope with the same conditions (with wet balls). You will need to adjust your behaviour to the new circumstances.”
He stated the following in response to New Zealand’s final deficit of 65 runs: “When going after a total of that magnitude, you were going to need a good partnership at some point. If the match had taken place on another day, you would have taken two or three early wickets (in India’s innings).”
