WATCH: Kane Williamson pouches second blinder of the day to dismiss Ravindra Jadeja for 16 runs

New Zealand’s fielding was on fire in the final league match of the Champions Trophy against India on Sunday. Glenn Phillips had earlier taken an amazing catch of Virat Kohli to stun the Indian fans and commentators alike. Kane Williamson then followed it up with a one-handed catch to get the key wicket of Axar Patel. 

The former New Zealand skipper then produced the second-best catch of the game to get the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja. The incident happened on the fifth ball of the 46th over with Matt Henry bowling a wide delivery. Jadeja, just like Kohli, went to cut the ball and saw the ball speeding to the point region.

Williamson this time dove to his left and took a brilliant one-handed catch. Jadeja, just like the Indian fans in the stadium, was left shaking his head in disbelief. The Kiwis, who are known for their terrific fielding, have shown no let-up to the Indian batters with their displays on the field. 

Matt Henry’s fifer helps New Zealand restrict India to 249

It was New Zealand who won the toss and chose to bat first and reduced India to 37/3 after 10 overs. Shubman Gill was the first man out for two runs when he was struck on his pads to give Henry his first wicket. Rohit Sharma was out for 15 when he failed to keep his pull shot down off Kyle Jamieson. 

At 30/3, Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer joined forces to add 98 runs for the fourth wicket in 136 balls. The pair saw off the threat from the Kiwi bowlers to score runs with ease and take India past the 100-run mark. Against the run of play, Patel was out for 42 when he tried to sweep Rachin Ravindra only to see Williamson take the tumbling catch. 

Shreyas Iyer was the best batter for India with 79 runs off 98 balls before being caught by Will Young off William O Rourke. Hardik Pandya then smashed 45 runs in a run-a-effort to take India close to 250. Matt Henry picked 5/42 from his eight over and his fifth wicket was that of Shami, who went for a huge slog only to be caught by Phillips for five runs.
