India defeated New Zealand by six wickets in the second Twenty20 encounter on Sunday, tying the three-match series at one each. New Zealand decided to bat and finished with a score of 99 for eight after losing wickets often. For India, Arshdeep Singh took two wickets while only allowing seven runs in his two overs. Suryakumar Yadav, who was undefeated at 26, led India to 101 for four in 19.5 overs as they chased 100.
Mitchell Santner, the captain of New Zealand, won the toss and chose to bat first against India in Lucknow. Let's begin... The New Zealand innings will be launched by Finn Allen and Devon Conway. India's Hardik Pandya has the ball.
Despite Devon Conway hitting a four in the opening over, Hardik Pandya had a good start, giving up six runs in it.
Finn Allen is dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal for 11, giving NZ 21/1 in 3.3 overs.
How exciting! Yuzvendra Chahal began his stint in the return game with a wicket-maiden. Chahal clean bowled Finn Allen and was the target of a strong LBW appeal against Mark Chapman.
GREAT WICKET! A win for Washington Sundar on the field. The spinner defeated Devon Conway, who was in good form (11). The first player from New Zealand attempted a review but was unsuccessful because the ball hit the gloves before reaching goalkeeper Ishan Kishan's hands. Sundar gave up 8 runs in it, five of which were wide. Deepak Hooda, a spinner, too got off to a great start. Just two singles off a massive wicket. Currently, New Zealand is facing certain challenges. Arshdeep Singh bowled a fantastic last over, allowing only five runs, including a leg bye. The pacer had a 2 for 7 in 2 overs return. The best scorer for the visitors was Mitchell Santner, who led New Zealand and was still undefeated after 19 balls.
Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill will open India's run chase. Jacob Duffy is New Zealand's player with the ball. Additionally, early in the innings, New Zealand used spin. When Michael Bracewell joined the assault, he only conceded one single. With a powerful smash beyond the point fielder for a four against Michael Bracewell, Ishan Kishan begins his boundary count. With Glenn Phillips only allowing one single off the opening five balls, things were going rather well for the Kiwis. However, a four off the last ball gave India a respectable victory in their modest chase. For his second boundary of the run chase, Ishan Kishan (15*) steered one fine into fine leg.
