Chasing in the mountains no sweat as India's calm prevails in the land of the Dalai Lama

Hindustan Times  

Another night, another successful Indian run-chase. Even so, New Zealand’s 273 was the most India had conceded in this World Cup, and against one of the more balanced and incisive attacks, the hosts needed to be on top of their chasing game to maintain their unbeaten run. There was no panic, no hare-brained running, no outlandish shot-selection, no unseemly hurry to hurtle home It helped that India had won their previous four games batting second. A regulation win might have appeared on the cards when the old firm of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill got the hosts off to a cracker, but in a stirring reminder of why they are so consistent in world events, New Zealand surged back into contention through Lockie Ferguson, who dismissed both openers in the space of 14 deliveries. India gave Iyer every chance in the lead-up to the World Cup to return to full fitness after back surgery; Iyer is well on his way to repaying that faith.
