2nd Innings: Ind vs NZ Recent Test Match
In the 2nd innings of the match India tried to make its comeback in the game. Upto a great extent they were successful to do it. They got a master blaster start and almost every player from the top order played a good inning. But the middle and lower order did not understand the task and hardly contributed in the inning. Dismissal of top order ruined the Indian game again. Though they ended the inning at a great score of 462, it was not enough to cover the mistakes of their first inning. It led to a very achievable and easy target for New Zealand. New Zealand did not lose the chance. Taking full advantage of the situation, they won the game at the loss of only 2 wickets by making 110 runs.
