Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell hit half-centuries to put New Zealand in control against India in the World Cup 2023 match in Dharamsala on Sunday.
The young Ravindra stroked a fine 65 from 76 balls, while Mitchell scored 68 from 60 balls as the duo put on 128 runs for the third wicket to guide New Zealand to 147/2 in 30 overs.
