hardik pandya Superb one-handed catch to dismiss devon conway The second ODI between India and New Zealand was played in Raipur on Saturday. New Zealand’s start was disappointing, and it got worse as Conway sent his shot straight to Pandya. The all-rounder was a little off balance but that did not stop him from catching the ball with his left hand. This resulted in the crowd bursting into cheers, while Conway was stunned by the athleticism on display.

The pace attack led by Mohammed Shami produced a decisive spell on a difficult surface as India bowled New Zealand out for 108.
With New Zealand reeling at 15 for five in the 11th over, the enthusiastic fans gathered at the away Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium in Raipur for the maiden international match feared an early end.
Shami (3/18) and Mohammed Siraj (1/10) made life difficult for the batsmen with his high quality seam bowling on a supportive pitch. The odd ball stopping made the task of the batsmen difficult.
New Zealand were under a lot of pressure, but the century in the last match did not give up all hope. Michael Bracewell (22) And equally dangerous Glen Phillips (36) In between.
Bracewell made his intention clear by stepping up to hit Shami over cover. After being hit for consecutive boundaries in the 19th over, Shami bowled a sharp bouncer and Bracewell went for the pull and edged it back to the keeper.
Mitchell Santer (27), who scored a half-century in Hyderabad, joined Phillips and both shared a 47-run partnership for the seventh wicket to take the team past 100. However, both were dismissed within six balls to end New Zealand’s hopes of recovery.
While Santner played Hardik’s slower ball onto the stumps, Phillips took a regulation catch Suryakumar Yadav With a long jump over deep midwicket Washington Sundar (2/7).
