NZ 212-4 (20 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Bhuvneshwar, who has two overs in hand, comes back. He starts with a full toss which de Grandhomme hits over the off-side for a four. The next ball is short and this time the right-hander slashes it over point for another boundary.

Three singles from the next three balls before Mitchell hits a full toss straight back over the bowler's head for the third four of the over.

A poor over from Bhuvneshwar as he missed his radar while trying to bowl the yorkers and ended up gifting the Kiwi batsmen quite a few full toss.

Hardik Pandya comes back into the attack. He sees another catch dropped off his bowling as Rohit makes a valiant effort in the covers but is unable to hold on following a full length dive.

Hardik then bowls it full on the stumps as Mitchell clips it over midwicket for a boundary and then gets one from the next ball.

De Grandhomme miscues the pull shot as Hardik bowls the slower bouncer but it falls safely for three runs followed by one.

Bhuvneshwar makes the breakthrough dismissing the dangerous Colin de Grandhomme, who throws his bat at a wide yorker but gets an edge and is caught behind after a quickfire cameo of 30 from 16 balls.

Ross Taylor gets off the mark with two runs through the covers and then takes one.

Mitchell then top edges the pull shot which falls in the gap between fine leg and square leg and goes for a four to bring up New Zealand's 200.

Khaleel to bowl the final over. He starts with a short ball which Taylor pulls over the square leg fence for a six but is then beaten by a wide full delivery.

Taylor then comes down the track but misses out a full toss bowled wide off the stumps.

Taylor then pulls the fourth ball to deep midwicket for a single before Mitchell takes one next ball.

Taylor ends the innings in style, pulling the last ball for a boundary to take the Kiwis to a huge 212 for four in their 20 overs.
