India Steady at 100/3 After Early Blows Against New Zealand

In a gripping encounter, India reached 100/3 in 24.4 overs after a shaky start against New Zealand's pace attack. The early wickets put India on the back foot, with top-order batters failing to convert their starts. However, Shreyas Iyer (40 off 63) and Axar Patel (26 off 47) steadied the innings with a resilient 70-run partnership. The Kiwi bowlers, led by disciplined spells from Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner, kept the pressure on. With the middle overs in progress, India will look to accelerate while New Zealand aims for more breakthroughs.
