[WATCH]- Sharp Catch By Sanju Samson Helps Ravi Bishnoi Dismiss Mark Chapman For 32

India wicketkeeper Sanju Samson executed a sharp take behind the stumps as leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi registered his first wicket of the game by removing Mark Chapman during the third T20I against New Zealand, being played in Guwahati on Sunday, January 25.

The breakthrough came on the final ball of the 12th over of New Zealand’s innings. Bishnoi delivered a 105.3 kph length ball outside off stump, which the left-handed batter attempted to drive through the covers. However, he only managed a faint edge, and Samson made no mistake in completing the catch.

Chapman contributed a useful 32 from 23 balls, striking two boundaries and as many sixes. His departure reduced the visitors to 86 for four after 12 overs.

Consistent Breakthroughs Help India Bowlers Control The Run Flow

Put in to bat, New Zealand suffered an early setback as opener Devon Conway was dismissed for one in the opening over, with Hardik Pandya pulling off a stunning catch off Harshit Rana. Pandya then made an impact with the ball in the next over, removing Rachin Ravindra for four.

Tim Seifert and Glenn Phillips steadied the innings with a 21-run partnership for the third wicket, scoring at a run-a-ball pace, before Jasprit Bumrah sent back Seifert for 12 off 11 deliveries. Mark Chapman arrived at No. 5 and combined with Phillips to keep the runs flowing, adding 52 off 41 balls for the fourth wicket.

Chapman was later dismissed for 32, becoming Ravi Bishnoi’s first breakthrough of the match. Phillips continued to anchor the innings, but New Zealand lost another wicket at the other end as Daryl Mitchell fell for 14, handing Pandya his second scalp.

At the time of writing, the visitors were 112 for five after 15 overs, with Phillips unbeaten on 48 and Mitchell Santner yet to open his account. A victory in this contest would give India an unassailable 3–0 lead in the five-match series, having already secured the first two games.
