Mitchell, Phillips centuries power NZ to 337 against India

Indore, Jan 18 (UNI) A late assault led by skipper Michael Bracewell, combined with a monumental 219-run partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips, propelled New Zealand to a commanding 337 for 8 against India in the third One-Day International of the New Zealand tour of India at the Holkar Cricket Stadium here today.
Put in to bat after India won the toss and opted to bowl, New Zealand suffered an early double blow. Arshdeep Singh struck in the opening over as Henry Nicholls played on for a first-ball duck, before Harshit Rana continued his fine series against Devon Conway, inducing an edge to Rohit Sharma at first slip. The visitors were reduced to 5 for 2 inside two overs.
Will Young and Daryl Mitchell steadied the innings with a cautious rebuilding phase. Young played some fluent strokes, including a six off Rana, before falling for 30, caught sharply by Ravindra Jadeja at backward point, giving Rana his second wicket and leaving New Zealand at 58 for 3 in the 13th over.
