New Zealand beat India by 40 runs

New Zealand strolled to a 40-run victory against India on Saturday to level the T20I series 1-1. Batting first, New Zealand helped by Munro’s century and Martin Guptill’s 45, posted a competitive 196/2 in 20 overs.

In reply, India hits only 156/7 in 20 overs. The Kiwis started brilliantly with the ball as Boult removed both the openers cheaply to give his team an upper-hand in the game. India could not gather any momentum as the Kiwi bowlers kept up the pressure on the famed Indian batting line-up. For India, Kohli (65) was the highest scorer.

For New Zealand, Boult finished with the figures of four for 34. The third and final match, a virtual final, will be heldĀ at Thiruvananthapuram on November 7.
