Perhaps, there is no other bowler in the recent past, who was as quick as Lockie Ferguson of New Zealand Cricket Team. He has been delivering the goods with the pace more often than not across the formats. Meanwhile, he once again kept that at the display by castling the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan.

It was in the final over of the powerplay when Lockie Ferguson ran to bowl his third delivery of the over. He bowled a perfect 151 KMPH yorker to the moving Shikhar Dhawan, who got no answers in dealing the delivery. The wicket further stretched the vows for the Indian team in the daunting chase.

Earlier, it was Rohit Sharma, who continued his poor form against Kiwis. In a mammoth chase, he was knocked out by the bouncer from Tim Southee, which was pouched safely by Lockie Ferguson in the deep.

Shikhar Dhawan scored 29 off 18 balls:

Meanwhile, earlier in the match, India won the toss and asked the home side to bat first. Accepting the task, Kiwis batsmen went berserk against Indian bowlers by smashing boundaries more often than not. They took every bowler to the cleaners to progress towards a massive score on the board.

Tim Seifert, the wicketkeeper was the wrecker-in-chief, who showed his brilliant batting skills. He smashed a stunning 84 off 43 balls to hand a great start for the hosts. Then it was all the other batsmen, who just whacked the delivery whenever the loss ball is on offer.

None of the Indian bowlers showed their class in defending the Kiwis batsmen. Every one of them including the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya was smashed out of the park with ease by the home team batsman.

In the big chase, current India is in trouble by losing 3 wickets for 64 runs in 8.2 overs. It needs some special effort from the hitters to make things fall in place for the Indian cricket team.
