‌IND vs NZ | Twitter reacts to Williamson's one-handed screamer mirrors flying Phillips to send Jadeja packing

Apart from batting and bowling, fielding can be a game-changer in cricket as well. There must not be any doubt about it after New Zealand’s exuberant display at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium with Kane Williamson mirroring Glenn Phillips’ during the fag end of the first innings.

Eyeing to continue their dominance in Group A, New Zealand got early wickets in the form of India’s top three as Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson struck inside the powerplay. Following a 98-run partnership between Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer, the Kiwis pulled the game in their favour with planning and strategy. Their bowling brilliance was well-backed by impeccable fielding as Williamson’s one-handed stunner reflected a mirror image of Glenn Phillips' outstanding catch at the start.

On the fifth ball of the 46th over, Matt Henry bowled a back of a length delivery outside the stumps that Jadeja tried to punch off the back foot. The southpaw played it aerial and found Williamson leaping to his left and plucking it with one hand. The veteran’s dive was so seamless that the ball remained in his left-hand grip after smacking the ground. These catches require good reflex in a brief period, similar to Phillips’ endeavour, who dived to his right to conclude Kohli’s eleven-run know. Undoubtedly, the observers and the Twitterverse was taken aback with such performance from the Black Caps.
