Greenfield Stadium in silence; Sanju Samson dismissed for six runs

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Sanju Samson, who came to the crease with high expectations on his home turf, fell short of his fans' hopes. The Malayali star was dismissed for just six runs in the fifth Twenty20 match against New Zealand. The player returned after being caught by Bevon Jacobs off a bowling ball by Lockie Ferguson.

This match provided a valuable opportunity for the player who had been struggling to find his form in previous games. Unfortunately, Sanju quickly returned to the tent, disappointing the packed crowd at Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. Throughout the series, Sanju only managed to score 46 runs in a total of five matches. Although Abhishek Sharma was initially successful, he was ultimately clean bowled by Ferguson. Currently, Ishan Kishan and captain Suryakumar Yadav are at the crease.
