India bowlers Anshul Kamboz and Arshdeep Singh excel in Auckland ODI

In the first ODI against New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland, Indian bowlers Anshul Kamboz and Arshdeep Singh delivered standout performances. Anshul Kamboz recorded figures of 2 for 22 in 10 overs, matching Jasprit Bumrah’s 2016 economy rate of 2.2 for the most economical spell by an Indian bowler in a decade.

Arshdeep Singh claimed 4 wickets for 70 runs in 10 overs, becoming only the third Indian fast bowler to take four wickets in an ODI on New Zealand soil, joining Javagal Srinath and Mohammed Shami. Singh was particularly effective during the powerplay, securing early breakthroughs against Will Young and Henry Nicholls.

The disciplined bowling helped restrict New Zealand to 185 runs in 40.2 overs.
