Opener Luke Ronchi scored a blistering century as New Zealanders were bowled out for 235 in their second innings against Mumbai in the drawn tour game in New Delhi Sunday. Ronchi, who opened the innings for the visitors, struck a 112-ball 107 to counter Mumbai's spin bowling that dominated the third and final day's play at Feroz Shah Kotla.
Ronchi's opening partner Martin Guptill fell for nought as the Kiwi batting suffered from lack of partnerships on a pitch that seemed to be taking vicious turn.
New Zealand innings folded in the fourth of the mandatory 15 overs in the last hour of play, but Mumbai did not take up the chase of 96 in nine overs.
Brief Scores:
New Zealanders 324/7 dec and 235 all out in 66.4 overs (Luke Ronchi 107, BJ Watling 43; Parikshit Valsangkar 3-41)
Mumbai 464/8 dec (Kaustubh Pawar 100 retired out, Suryakumar Yadav 103, Siddhesh Lad 100 not out; Ish Sodhi 2-132).
