Live Hindi News :- New Zealand lost to West Indies in a T20 World Cup Group C match at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium in Dharwad, West Indies, leaving Super 8 qualification in trouble. The main reason for the loss can be attributed to Kane Williamson's captaincy miscalculations. It was a mistake to ask West Indies to bat first instead of winning the toss and batting on a normal pitch after heavy rain.

The West Indies team played childish batting without any basic understanding, footwork and strategy to tackle the accurate bowling of New Zealand and faltered after losing 5 wickets for 30 runs in 7 overs. But Rutherford stayed back and swung the bat again and scored a brilliant half-century. He scored 37 runs in the last 2 overs. In this way, New Zealand set a target of 150 runs on this difficult pitch.

Another big mistake by Kane Williamson was to bowl 4 overs to key bowlers like Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson and James Neesham. Getting all out soon at 76/7 and then 103/8 was a big mistake as the key bowlers completed their quota of 4 overs. At 112/9 in 17.5 overs, he had to bowl the last 2 overs to Daryl Mitchell and Sandown without any bowlers.

Both the CSK bowlers have performed well. And Daryl Mitchell is not a bowler for the last over. Sherfane Rutherford, who was waiting for this weakness, took full advantage and hit three brilliant sixes in Daryl Mitchell's over. Another CSK player Chandanar, who bowled the last over, also contributed 20 runs. Rutherford scored a half-century on 33 runs. West Indies reached a winning score of 149 runs. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this defeat was due to all the key bowlers finishing their overs too quickly.

In the chase, another CSK player, Devon Conway, went for the sweep and was dismissed for 5 runs. Finn Allen scored 26 runs with the help of 3 fours and 1 six and the ball was chested down on middle and off by Russell at deep square leg. Captain Kane Williamson was once again dismissed for 1 run. That day Rashid Khan gave the ball a slip hand catch. Today Williamson bowled spinner Moti straight into the hands of wicketkeeper Puran.

Later, this Moti also defeated another CSK player Rachin Ravindra. A high flick shot was caught by Russell at deep midwicket. Another CSK player Daryl Mitchell lost his stumps to Moti's brilliant spin after scoring 12 runs. Glenn Phillips looked a bit intimidating. Alzari Joseph was dismissed on a short pitch ball after scoring 40 runs off 33 balls. Sandner scored 21 runs in the last over by hitting 3 sixes but 13 runs were still needed by the end of 20 overs.

New Zealand needed 50 runs in the last 3 overs and lost. This is not IPL. Chasing all this is a difficult pitch and it is not possible here. New Zealand finished at 136/9. Alzari Joseph took 4 wickets and Moti took 3 wickets. Serpen Rutherford was the man of the match. Kane Williamson's miscalculation and captaincy has put New Zealand on the verge of losing Super 8 qualification.
