Kane Williamson might have struck the first hundred for the Black Caps on their tour of India and been named man of the match in his side's thrilling six-run victory but it was the bowling unit that took most of the plaudits. Most importantly, the result has given life to a series that was in danger of slipping away. The five-match one-day series is now level 1-1 with the third game at Mohali on Sunday, and comes on the back of the 3-0 hammering New Zealand received in the test series. A lot of the credit they had in the bank was spent after a series of inept performances.
