1st Test: It Would Not Be An Easy Win From Here, Says O’Rourke As New Zealand Chase 107 For Victory
New Zealand Cricket: With 107 runs needed to win the first Test against India at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Sunday, many people consider New Zealand to be in the driver's seat to win their first Test in India since 1988. However, pacer William O’Rourke said winning the match would not be easy for New Zealand on the fifth day of the Test.
At one point, India were 408/3 and looked primed to set a big target for New Zealand, thanks to a thrilling counter-attacking 177-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Sarfaraz Khan (150) and Rishabh Pant (99). But O'Rourke (3-92) and Matt Henry (3-102) claimed three wickets each as the visitors claimed the last seven wickets for 54 runs to bundle out the hosts for 462, setting themselves a target of 107 runs to win the match.
To most people, this may look like an easy chase for New Zealand, but O'Rourke disagreed and said it will not be an easy win.
