India 208-6 (20 ovs) vs NZ 212-4 | Scorecard

Colin Munro's blazing innings helped New Zealand pip India in a high-scoring thriller by four runs to win the three-match T20 International 2-1, in Hamilton, on Sunday.

Munro blasted 72 from 40 balls to power New Zealand to a huge 212 for four in their 20 overs after they were put into bat.

In reply, India finished on 208 for six as no partnerships flourished in the hug run chase.

Vijay Shankar top-scored with a quickfire 43 from 28 balls, while Dinesh Karthik slammed 33 not out from 16 balls but was unable to steer India to victory.

India needed 16 from the final over for victory but the experienced Tim Southee held his nerve quite well to deny Karthik and Krunal Pandya, who hit 26 not out from 13 balls.

All-rounder Daryl Mitchell took two for 27 after he had scored 19 not out from 11 balls at the end.
