New Zealand's spinners destroy India in World T20 opener

March 15, 2016 22:50

NEW ZEALAND WIN BY 47 RUNS!!!

Ind 79-all out (18.1 ovs) vs NZ 126-7 | Scorecard

This is India's second worst total in T20 Internationals as their losing run against New Zealand continues in the shortest format of the game, having lost all five matches against the Kiwis.

The Nagpur pitch will once again be in the focus with the ball turning sharply right from the start.

The New Zealand spinners destroyed the Indian batting line-up with Santner 4-11, Sodhi 3-18 and McCullum 2-15 claiming nine wickets between them.

India's net run rate also takes a big beating after this heavy loss. They will look to bounce back when they take on arch-rivals Pakistan in a high-profile match in Kolkata on March 19.
