IND vs NZ: Michael Bracewell hit a century off 57 balls, hit 22 boundaries, he did not accept less than a century


New Delhi. Michael Bracewell once scared Team India with his aggressive batting. The 3-match ODI series between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ) started on Wednesday, 18 January. On the basis of Shubman Gill’s double century, India scored a big score of 349 runs for 8 wickets while playing first. In response, the Kiwi team had lost 6 wickets for 131 runs. In such a situation, it seemed that the team would soon collapse. But Bracewell made the match exciting by scoring 140 off 78 balls. He made a big partnership of 162 runs off 102 balls with Mitchell Santner for the 7th wicket. In the end, the team got all out after scoring 337 runs in 49.2 overs. In this way India won by just 12 runs.

This is only the 17th ODI match of 31-year-old Michael Bracewell. He has scored 2 centuries so far, not even a half-century. That is, whenever he gets a chance, he scores a century. He has scored centuries in all three formats of first class cricket, List-A and T20. This can explain his excellent performance. This off-spinner has also taken a hat-trick in T20 International. That is, he is adept at doing wonders with the ball as well.
