Hyderabad: Hours after the juniors won Under-19 World Cup in Australia, India national cricket team on Sunday defeated New Zealand by innings and 115 runs in first test of three test match series.
New Zealand were all-out for 168 in their second inning after facing follow-on in reply to India’s 438 runs in first inning. CA Pujara scored 156 runs while skipper MS Dhoni made 73 in the first inning.
India’s R Ashwin took 12 wickets in the match.
In a post match ceremony Kiwi’s skipper Ross Taylor said, “We couldn’t sustain ourselves, the Indian bowling showed us a masterclass. We have come over here in 2010 and drew the first two games without a practice match, we can’t use that as an excuse. McCullum and Williamson played very well, myself included and a few other batsmen need to put up more of a fight. The batting, we need to learn how to play Ashwin.”
Scores:
India: 438
New Zealand: 159 & 164 (f/o)
