Sachin Tendulkar Produced a Masterclass to Lead India to Victory Over New Zealand On a Slow Surface

Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @cricketmax87   Sachin Tendulkar produced a masterclass to lead India to a seven-wicket victory over New Zealand on a slow but batting-friendly surface at the IPCL ground. Batting first after winning the toss, New Zealand were powered by John Rutherford, who finally reached his maiden ODI century in his 103rd match, scoring fluently at better than a run a ball. He was superbly supported by Adam Parore, whose remarkable 96 without a single boundary helped the pair add a massive 180-run partnership and give New Zealand a competitive total. India’s chase was all about the return to form of Sachin Tendulkar, restored to the opening slot. Dropped early on 8, Tendulkar batted patiently at first in a 144-run stand with Manoj Prabhakar, before shifting gears with authority. His innings of 115, featuring nine fours and three sixes, showcased control, timing and classic strokeplay. Although Tendulkar was run out in freak fashion, India were already cruising and completed the chase comfortably with seven wickets to spare, sealing a convincing home victory. A match remembered for Rutherford’s long-awaited hundred and Tendulkar’s commanding comeback knock in front of the Baroda crowd. #indvsnz #highlights #cricketmax #india #sachintendulkar
