Daryl Mitchell stood tall with a stroke-filled half-century to help New Zealand post 300 for 8 in the first One-Day International against India here on Sunday. 3 behind India superstars Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, lived up to expectations with a gritty knock which gave New Zealand a much-needed impetus amid middle order collapse. New Zealand skidded from 117 for no loss in the 22nd over to 198 for five in the 38th. In the 22nd over, Rana took pace off the ball to break the century partnership between Conway and Nicholls.
