Team Assessment
Tim Seifert top-scored with 38 on his return to ODI cricket and Jacob Duffy took 3/49, but no one else got going with the bat. Duffy said afterwards that 185 was never going to be enough and that the late starts make totals hard to defend. Devon Conway missed the opener after a training collision with Matt Henry, so his fitness is the one to watch.
Shubman Gill captains. Virat Kohli made 74 off 51 balls, taking on the short ball on a bouncy Eden Park pitch, and Gill added 37. Anshul Kamboj was Player of the Match after his 10 overs cost only 22 runs, and Arshdeep Singh took four wickets.
