By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Businessday
New Zealand is preparing for a five-match T20 cricket series against India, with particular attention on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the 15-year-old opener. Bowler Jacob Duffy believes New Zealand conditions will test the Indian prodigy, Businessday reports.
New Zealand has studied the game of young Indian opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi ahead of the five-match T20 cricket series starting on Thursday in Christchurch, bowler Jacob Duffy said, according to Businessday. New Zealanders are counting in particular on home conditions, which may favour bowlers, to test the 15-year-old.
Sooryavanshi scored a half-century off 18 balls against Zimbabwe, becoming the youngest player to achieve the feat in men’s international cricket. He also won gold at the Asian Games in Japan with India, which claimed the T20 title in Aichi-Nagoya, Businessday reports.
The T20 series opens India’s tour of New Zealand. One-day internationals and then two Test matches are also scheduled, according to Businessday.
