Wagner strikes as NZ tops India
Print Edition
Neil Wagner captured four wickets at crucial times as New Zealand held off a counter-attacking India to win the first cricket test in Auckland by 40 runs after tea on the fourth day yesterday.
India had looked favorites to win the match for much of the day before Wagner dismissed Virat Kholi (67) and Shikhar Dhawan (115) after lunch then removed Zaheer Khan (17) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (39) in the evening session when the tourists were in sight of the 407 runs needed for victory. Dhoni, the architect of a bludgeoning counter-attack after his side had been reduced to 270 for six after tea, was the ninth wicket to fall, effectively ending the chase with his side still 44 runs short of its target. India, which was eventually dismissed for 366, was skittled out for 202 in its first innings, a deficit of 301 runs.
