India 71-4 (10 ovs) vs NZ 196-2 | Scorecard


Kohli breaks the shackles as he comes down the track and hits Santner through the off-side for a four. He makes room and lofts the next shot over the off-side for another boundary.

He then tries the reverse sweep but misses and is hit on the pads. The Indians steal the leg bye before the New Zealand players decide to take the DRS. However, the ball tracker shows the ball would have gone down the leg side and missed the stumps.

Iyer takes a single before Kohli comes down and lofts Santner down the ground for a six and picks one to get 17 from the over.

Colin Munro, who was New Zealand's hero with the bat, comes into the attack. Kohli in full flow at the moment as he lofts the first ball over the covers for two runs and then punches it to sweeper cover for one.

And Munro does the trick again with the wicket of Iyer. He has a wild swing but gets the leading edge to be caught by the bowler himself after scoring 23 from 21 balls.

Sodhi comes back and strikes with the wicket of Hardik Pandya. The right-hander is foxed by the googly which comes in and hits the stumps to bowl him for one.

India in big trouble on 71 for four at the halfway stage, needing another 126 runs from 10 overs for victory at over 12 per over.

Kohli fighting a lone battle, having played a few cracking shots to hit 38 from 25 balls.
