The Twitterati had some fun at the expense of the Pune pitch curator's prediction of 337 as the Indian bowlers put in a brilliant performance to restrict New Zealand to just 230. With the help of Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik's half centuries, India were able to chase down the target with ease.
Brief scores: New Zealand 230/9 in 50 overs (Henry Nicholls 42, Colin de Grandhomme 41; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 3-45, Yuzvendra Chahal 2-36, Jasprit Bumrah 2-38) Lost to India 232/4 ( Shikhar Dhawan 68, Dinesh Karthik 64*, Adam Milne 1/21, Mitchell Santner 1/38) by 6 wickets.
Here are the funny tweets from the game:
Just a reminder of what Kohli did to the opposition the last time India played in Pune!
Last time Kohli played an ODI in Pune, this happened.

Just before the match, this happened!
Pune pitch curator Pandurang Salgaonkar was caught on camera leaking details about the pitch for the 2nd ODI

All those no balls by Bumrah was to trick Williamson into taking a review! :P
Williamson : This must be a LBW, I must not waste a review for my team!
— Sameer Allana (@HitmanCricket)
Also Williamson: OH WAIT! Bumrah hai no ball hoga!
Each ground is unique in it's own way! :)
Ranchi: When u see Dhoni helicopter

Mumbai: When u see Sachin straight drive
Delhi: When u see Kohli aggression
Pune: When u see Kedar spin
What a strategic move by NZ! :P
Good strategy by New Zealand to lose early wickets and let two inform batsmen face more and more deliveries.

Well played pitch curator, WELL PLAYED!
Shocked! What has happened to this world! Curator lied even after taking money. Par score of 337 doesn't seem possible.

"Man of the match" should go to the pitch curator for having played the best innings of his life against the bookies

Rohit Sharma : Chasing down 230 is too mainstream!
What a soft dismissal. Rohit too bored in a small chase.

But Shikhar Dhawan didn't want to miss this opportunity!
What a soft dismissal. Rohit too bored in a small chase.

Dinesh Karthik shows why he was picked ahead of Pandey! Scoring a 50 when the team needed it.
9th ODI 50 For Dinesh Karthik. Well Played. Very Well Played. 🇮🇳🙏

India 7 Runs Away.
Dinesh Karthik puts an end to a game of musical chairs for India's No.4, doesn't he?

What a comeback by the Indian team!
India registered their 50th win against New Zealand on their 100th ODI..
