2nd ODI: It Becomes Very Difficult If You Don’t Pick Wickets In Middle Overs, Says Gill
Niranjan Shah Stadium: India captain Shubman Gill admitted his side failed to capitalise in the middle overs during their seven-wicket defeat to New Zealand in the second ODI at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on Wednesday, adding that things become very difficult if scalps don’t come in that phase of the game.
"We couldn't pick up any wickets in the middle overs. With five fielders in, if you don't keep taking wickets in the middle overs, it becomes very difficult, even if we had added 15-20 more runs. And if you don't pick up wickets in the middle overs, it's very difficult to stop a target," Gill said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
On a two-paced pitch, India’s score of 284/7 was built around KL Rahul’s composed 112 not out off 92 balls, his eighth century in the format. But New Zealand completed the chase, thanks to Daryl Mitchell’s 131 not out.
