Brief Scores: India: 184/7 in 20 overs (Rohit Sharma 56; Mitchell Santner 3/27); New Zealand: 111-all out in 17.2 overs (Martin Guptill 51; Axar Patel 3/9).
A cricket season never ends, just as it never begins. It’s an endless chain of interlinked series and tournaments without a full-stop or punctuation. So just three days after losing the World T20 final in Dubai, New Zealand starts a bilateral series against India, who they had vanquished to claim the World Test Championship just four months ago. Whether the series marks the start of a new season, or the end of an old one, or the continuation of an existing one, not even the players or officials could figure out without the help of a pause, or a calendar.
Yet, there is a kind of freshness about this season. For both the teams, the T20 World Cup is a thing of the past as they plan for the new cycle of World Test Championship, the T20 World Cup next year and the 50-over World Cup the year after. A profusion of new faces, and a familiar face recast in new avatar, assist in injecting the feeling of a new start.
