India 81-6 (20 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard
Dhoni taking his time as he plays another couple of dot balls before he pulls Ferguson to deep midwicket for one. He has scored just eight from 27 balls, for a strike rate of just 29.
Pandya then gets a thick outside edge which goes in the gap between the wicketkeeper and the wide slip fielder for a four.
The next ball is clipped through square leg for another boundary and then lofts the last ball over the covers to make it three fours in a row and bring some cheer back to the Indian dressing room.
In the next over, de Grandhoome gets one to bounce off length as Pandya fends it on the off-side as it goes away from the slip fielder for a single and Dhoni clips the last ball behind square for two runs.
James Neesham comes into the attack and strikes first ball with the wicket of Pandya, who is beaten by a beauty. Pandya gets the edge and is caught behind after a good innings of 30 from 37 balls.
Dinesh Karthik walks in at No 7 and he flicks the first ball he faces through square leg for a four to get off the mark. But he perishes two balls later, as he clips it uppishly but straight into the hands of the fielder at deep square leg to fall for four.
India in a complete mess on 81 for six in 20 overs, with Dhoni on 11 from 31 balls.
