2nd Test: Really Special Feeling, Proud To Be In This Position, Says Tom Latham
T20 World Cup: Six days after New Zealand gave immense joy to a country of over five million residents by winning the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup silverware, it was the turn of Tom Latham-led Test team to add more happiness with a 113-run win over India giving them their first-ever series win in the country.
After New Zealand got the historic triumph at Pune and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, Latham was understandably jubilant. “Really special feeling. Proud to be in this position. Whole team effort and a clear example of everyone pitching in. When you come over here you want to put your best foot forward. Putting runs on the board at the start was really important,” he said after the match ended.
The chief architect of New Zealand’s win was left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner, who took 7-53 in the first innings and rattled the Indian chase by picking 6-104 in a relentless and uninterrupted spell of 29 overs to finish with match figures of 13-157, the third-best match figures for a bowler from his country in Tests.
