He played late and trusted his defense. Boundaries came through location rather than power. Mitchell rebuilt the innings with Will Young. The pair added a steady partnership and slowed down India’s pace.Will Young looked composed and scored 30 runs. His innings ended after a stunning catch by Ravindra Jadeja. New Zealand were 58 for 3 at this stage. Again Mitchell had to anchor the innings as he continued to bat with control and clarity.He was supported at the other end by Glenn Phillips. Together, they took New Zealand past 200 runs and propelled the Kiwis to an impressive total.This knock helped Mitchell equal Babar Azam and Pathum Nissanka to be consistent from 2023 onwards. All three batsmen have repeatedly scored more than 50 in ODIs. Virat Kohli still leads the chart and remains the benchmark. Mitchell is now closing in on that elusive record.
