Mitchell’s unbeaten 131 powers NZ to series-levelling win

Rajkot, Jan 14 (UNI) A commanding unbeaten century by Daryl Mitchell overshadowed a fighting batting effort from India as New Zealand produced a clinical chase to register a seven-wicket victory and level the series in the second One-Day International of the New Zealand tour of India at the Niranjan Shah Stadium here on Wednesday.
Chasing 285, New Zealand were steered home by Mitchell’s masterful unbeaten 131, but the foundation of the contest was laid earlier by India’s recovery to 284 for seven after early and middle-order setbacks.
Asked to bat after losing the toss, India began cautiously before Rohit Sharma fell for 24, edging Kristian Clarke to Will Young. Skipper Shubman Gill looked fluent during his 56 off 53 balls, striking nine fours and a six, but his dismissal to Kyle Jamieson triggered a wobble.
