While chasing the target, Kane Williamson’s New Zealand fell 66 runs short of the target and lost the match by 65 runs. While everyone was in full awe of the star Indian batting sensation Suryakumar Yadav for his amazing century, some of the fans also praised the intent of the Indian team that they had shown in the match against New Zealand after moving on from a recent debacle in the 20-20 World Cup 2022.
