After a closely fought match in the first T20I on Friday, India produced a rather convincing performance against New Zealand and beat them by seven wickets. But the foundation of the win was laid in the first innings, by the Indian bowlers, who were at their best and restricted the opposition to mere 132/5.
After a closely fought match in the first T20I on Friday, India produced a rather convincing performance against New Zealand and beat them by seven wickets. But the foundation of the win was laid in the first innings, by the Indian bowlers, who were at their best and restricted the opposition to mere 132/5.
Such a performance with the ball took India to the win and now the visitors lead the series 2-0. Skipper Virat Kohli was appreciative of the efforts of the bowlers.
"I think we had another good performance today, especially with the ball. The bowlers stood up and took control of what we wanted to do out there. Sticking to one side of the wicket was a very good feature for us as a team to restrict a good New Zealand team to 132 which I think was below par," Kohli said in the post-match presentation.
