[Watch] Arshdeep Singh removes Will Young for 9 to give India early edge in 1st ODI at Auckland

Arshdeep Singh seized the new ball to strike twice in the opening ODI against New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland, on November 4. He dismissed opener Will Young for 9 in the fifth over, with Shreyas Iyer taking a clean catch at square leg after Young edged a back-of-a-length delivery.

Young had previously struck two boundaries off 11 balls before his dismissal, which reduced New Zealand to 22 for 1.

Earlier, Naman Dhir dropped a catch off Tim Seifert, allowing the hosts to survive an initial scare. Arshdeep followed up his first wicket by removing Henry Nicholls for 9 in the ninth over, with Nicholls picking out Dhir at mid-wicket.

This left New Zealand at 40 for 2 in 8.3 overs. India captain Shubman Gill had won the toss and chose to field under overcast conditions that favored seam bowling.
