Done and dusted! Chahal bowled for 1 and India have been bundled out for 139. New Zealand thrash India by 80 runs, go 1-0 up in the series.

Wicket! Dhoni (39) pulls the short-pitched delivery from Southee and Ferguson takes a simple catch in the deep. India - 139/9 in 19 overs.

India 132/8 after 18 overs. Ferguson ends his full quota of 4 overs with 2/22.

Wicket! Tim Seifert can do nothing wrong today. He takes a stunning catch behind the stumps and Bhuvneshwar departs for 1. Ferguson gets another wicket. India 132/8 in 17.5 overs. Are they going to last full 20 overs?

Wicket! Krunal Pandya (20) surprised with the extra pace and edges and Tim Seifert takes a simple catch with gloves on. Southee gets his first wicket of the match. India are 129/7.

India are 118/6 after 16 overs.

SIX! Krunal Pandya ends Sodhi's over with a maximum. India are 113/6 after 15 overs. This hasn't been the kind of run chase Indian supporters were hoping for. Kiwi bowlers have bowled well to contain Indians.

After 13 overs, India are 88/6.

Nothing’s worked for India today except Rohit Sharma winning the toss. And his decision to field first seems to be boomeranging badly

The Indian supporters at Westpac Stadium, Wellington have gone silent as the deep Indian batting line-up has simply failed to live up to the reputation in a daunting run chase.

Wicket! Another wicket perishes and it's Hardik Pandya this time. He's gone for 4 and India are 77/6. Two in an over for Sodhi. Nothing has gone India's way in this game, except for winning the toss.

Wicket! Dinesh Karthik (5) also departs. Southee takes a superb catch and Ish Sodhi gives India their fifth jolt. India are 73/5.

Wicket! Dinesh Karthik (5) also departs. Southee takes a superb catch and Ish Sodhi gives India their fifth jolt. India are 73/5.

Second wicket for Santner in that very over. Vijay Shankar (27) got the timing wrong this time and ended up giving a simple catching practice to Colin de Grandhomme at mid-off. India are 65/4 after 9 overs.

Bowled! Mitchell Santner cleans up Rishabh Pant for 4. India - 64/3 in 8.3 overs. They are in deep trouble in this big run chase.

SIX! Vijay Shankar is displaying some clean hitting skills as he hammers Santner for a maximum. He's certainly carrying his form from the ODIs to the T20Is. India - 61/2 after 7 overs.

Wicket! Shikhar Dhawan has been cleaned up by Ferguson with a brilliant yorker bowled at 151kmph. Dangerous Dhawan departs for 29. India 51/2 in 5.3 overs.

1,4,2,4,6,1 = 18 runs came from that over bowled by Kuggeleijn. Vijay Shankar picked his target in that over and got those big shots.

SIX! Shikhar Dhawan dispatched Lockie Ferguson over mid-wicket for a maximum. It was a slower one and the southpaw hit a flat six. India are 28/1 after 4 overs.

Tidy second over from Southee as he conceded just 1 from it and also got the big wicket of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. India are 19/1 after 3 overs. This is not the kind of start the visitors were hoping for.

Wicket! Rohit Sharma pulls Southee but didn't time it well and Lockie Ferguson takes a brilliant catch diving forward. India are 18/1 as Rohit departs for 1.

Four! Dhawan gets a boundary in the same region on the very next delivery. He moves on to 16.

SIX, SIX! Shikhar Dhawan flicks Kuggeleijn towards mid-wicket for back to back deliveries. If the first one slipped through the hands of the fielder, the second one was timed to perfection.

End of the first over and India are 1/0 in the run chase of 220 from 20 overs. The current required rate for India is 11.53 per over.

Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are out into the middle to start the run chase. Tim Southee starts with the new ball.

Tim Seifert posted his career-best in the T20I. The wicketkeeper-batsman played all sorts of strokes, conventional and otherwise, in an eye-catching knock including six huge sixes. There were handy contributions from a few others to put the Black Caps in the driving seat between innings.

Four! A boundary to end the innings but New Zealand have posted a mammoth 219/6 in the 20 overs. That was some incredible hitting from almost every NZ batter. Indian bowlers bowled too many loose deliveries and paid the price. India's wicket-taking bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal also went for runs and that was, perhaps, a reason for NZ posting a daunting target for the visitors after Rohit elected to field.

Scott Kuggeleijn gets a brilliant six on the final ball of Bhuvneshwar's over and NZ are 210/6 in 19 overs. 14 runs off 4 balls by the batsman so far. He's living up to his reputation.

Wicket! Ross Taylor (23) didn't last long either. It was another skier but Khaleel pouched it, though the ball seemed to slip out of his palm, but the fielder ensured it didn't. NZ - 191/6 in 18.2 overs.
