Commentary
Hardik Pandya-led Indian side produced a clinical effort first with the bat and later with the ball as they defeated hosts New Zealand by a huge 65-run margin in the second T20I and went 1-nil up in the three-match series.
Riding upon the sensational 111* off 51 balls from Suryakumar Yadav, the Indians managed to post a respectable 191/8 in the stipulated 20 overs after being invited to bat first. SKY - who is ranked number one in the T20I rankings - once again showcased his batting pyrotechnics and his big hits in the death helped his team finish with a flourish.
Indians had a new opening pair in Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan in this game but Pant was dismissed cheaply. Kishan - who is making his comeback in the T20 side - played a vital knock up front and scored valuable 36 runs to give India a decent start in the powerplay.
Shreyas Iyer (13) and Hardik (13) couldn't score big but they ensured an on-song SKY was getting the strike he needed.
Although, Indians had a mini-collapse in the death over, especially in the final over when Kiwi pacer Tim Southee dismissed three wickets in a row to claim his second T20I hat-trick and prevented Indians from touching the 200-run mark.
However, the target of 192 proved too much for the hosts as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh started off pretty well in the powerplay with the new ball. Later in the middle-overs Yuzvendra Chahal - who made his comeback after warming the benches throughout the T20 World Cup - proved why he's such a dangerous bowler as he picked up a couple of wickets from his quota of 4 overs.
Mohammed Siraj too bagged a couple of wickets in his second spell of the match, while all-rounder Deepak Hooda - who had a forgettable outing with the bat - returned with 4/10 with the ball. The off-spinner picked up three wickets in the final over of the NZ innings' and the opposition was bundled out for 126 in 18.5 overs.
As the first game was washed out, the two teams will head to Napier with a win in their minds. Indians would be looking for a series win, while the BlackCaps will be aiming to square off the series.
