A big score by the batter today? There is zero percent chance of rain, so fans can see full 100 overs being played.

India marked their preparations for the World Cup on a strong note, completing a clean sweep over Sri Lanka. 2nd ODI: The second ODI was a one-sided affair as Indian bowling attack led by Mohammed Shami steamrolled through the Kiwi line, bundling them for 108 in 34.3 overs.

Rohit and Gill slam tons to power India to 385 (ESPNcricinfo.com)

New Zealand fought back after the opening stand of 212, taking 8 for 173 in the last 24 overs.

Another slower ball from Tickner got Washington to reduce India to 313 for 6 in the 43rd over. Now Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar had to slow down to make sure India had enough wickets in hand for the death overs. After both got their hundreds - Rohit off 83 balls, his first in three years, and Gill off 72, his third in four innings - they tried to get the scoring rate back up. When Bracewell finally came on, Gill welcomed him with a chipped four over extra cover and a massive slog-swept six to join Rohit in the 90s. Gill hooked a short ball over long leg for a big six without going hard at it, and Rohit drove a short-of-a-length ball down the ground for a six that was higher than it was long. During a 212-run opening stand at over eight runs an over, India looked set to have a shot at the first 500 in ODIs.

Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma seal ODI series sweep against ... (The Indian Express)

Easily the most entertaining opening pair in the world, both have the skills to make the brutal pull shot look beautiful.

True that he has perished to the pull of late, but still it is a folly to bowl short at him, not least on a ground with true bounce and short boundaries. The next ball, Ferguson shortened the length and widened the line, only for Gill to dab it down the third man for a four. Gill, fresh from a double hundred, dished out some gorgeous strokes, none as striking as the six he laced over extra-cover off Santner, nothing more than a front-foot stride, a back-foot shuffle to play the ball inside out and then a clean free swing of his bat. It was just the sixth time the pair has opened, but already they are hitting off like best friends. Soon after, he punished Michael Bracewell’s floaty off-breaks, hitting for a six and a four to enter his 90s. By the 15th over, it shot to 8.5, thanks to the introduction of Mitchell Santner, who Sharma welcomed with two sixes in three balls. and Daryl Mitchell, who Sharma greeted with a rare paddle sweep, followed by two fours in the next three balls. The ball was just about over-pitched, Rohit took a half-stride, met the ball on the rise and just played it through the gaps. Only when it is at least chest-high that he unfurls the pull and the hook. The off-driven six of Duffy in fifth over was a thing of pure beauty, a shot that could be described in isolation. Duffy was extracting bounce on the quickest and bounciest surface in the series. But with Tendulkar, you expect him to be in the perfect position to play the stroke.

However, the Red Lions remained unaffected, calmly keeping New Zealand out of their circle for most of the final seven minutes, to claim another impressive win and secured their spot in the semi-finals as they attempt to defend their World Cup title. New Zealand had a great start to the final quarter as a deliberate kick by Belgium’s Arthur de Sloover, inside their defensive 25m, earned them a penalty corner inside the first minute. The two strikes in the first two quarters proved enough as they defended stoutly to thwart New Zealand.

They strung together a timely stand of 54 in just over five overs to lift the dressing room again and ensure India finish with a total of 385/9 in 50 overs. Virat Kohli looked in fine touch, played a cameo (27-ball 36) and also strung together a partnership of 38 with Ishan Kishan (17) before a mix-up saw the latter being run out. Eventually, it was Rohit Sharma, who won the race and brought up his long-awaited 30th ODI century — his first ton in 50-over cricket since January 2020 — in 83 deliveries with a single in the 26th over. In the 8th over, Gill cut, drove and steered Lockie Ferguson all around the park as India collected 22 in a single over. Earlier, put in to bat first, Gill and Rohit gave India a strong start — the short-sized boundaries and a flat pitch made their job a bit easier. Gill and Rohit put on an excellent exhibition of batting by hitting sixes and boundaries all around the park, stitching a stand of 212 runs for the opening wicket.
