AP[/caption] The New Zealand batting stuttered in the first T20I. Apart from Martin Guptill and Mark Chapman, none of the other batsmen managed to click. Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips who both got out for ducks would be looking to make amends in the 2nd T20I. In absence of Kane Williamson, their middle order will need to form the backbone and put in strong performances. Guptill has been the man in form and he will again be a threat for India. The Indian bowlers will need to find a way to get him out. The Indians bowled well in the Powerplay and at the death. They conceded 41/1 in the powerplay and then in the last five overs, they gave away just 41 runs and took three wickets to restrict the Kiwis to 164/6. Those last five overs were crucial and it made a difference between the Kiwis posting 190-200 and a below par 164 on a very good batting track with the dew factor also going to play a part. In reply, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul got off to a flier. Rahul couldn’t carry on but Rohit hit 48 and then Suryakumar Yadav hit a brisk 40-ball 62 to give India an upper hand. But in the last four overs, India stuttered, before Rishabh Pant hit the winning runs. India would look to put in a more convincing effort. Ashwin and Bhuvneshwar were brilliant with the ball. Siraj, Chahar and Axar went for runs and they would look to bounce back in the second T20I. With India looking to seal the series and Kiwis looking to stay alive, we can expect a cracker.

SIX! Pant takes on Neesham straightaway. Heaves it over deep mid-wicket. Just 5 needed now.
17th over: India 143/3 (Iyer 12, Pant 0)
Earlier, Boult was brought back. He suddenly gets some extra bounce. There is an appeal for a caught behind off the second ball but the umpire turns it down. The Kiwis opt for a review but replays show there was no edge, it flicked the thigh pad and the impact was outside off. There was a couple that jumped off the length. One hit Pant’s hand and then his helmet. One took Iyer’s outside edge and flew to third man for a streaky FOUR! 6 runs off the Boult over.
After 16 overs,India 137/3 ( Venkatesh Iyer 7 , )
Is there another twist in the tale? Rohit hits his 25th T20I Fifty but then departs and then Suryakumar Yadav walks back as well.
After one run off the first two balls of the Milne over, Venkatesh Iyer gets lucky as he gets an inside edge which flies inches wide of the stumps for a streaky FOUR. After a dot and a single, Rohit gets to his 50 with a SIX over fine leg.
Southee then bowls a brilliant over and gets the wickets of Rohit and Suryakumar. He’s been brilliant tonight. Gives away just three runs and finishes with figures of 4-0-16-3.
After 14 overs,India 122/1 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 48 , Venkatesh Iyer 0)
Rohit continues to hit sixes. After two singles off the first two balls, Rohit hammers one over deep square leg for a SIX off Santner. Three runs off the last three balls make it 11 off the over.
Southee though bowls a good over and finally provides the breakthrough as he has Rahul holed out at deep mid-wicket, off a slower one. He gives away just six runs. 17 runs and a wicket off the last two overs.
After 12 overs,India 105/0 ( KL Rahul 63 , Rohit Sharma (C) 37)
The 100-runs stand comes up. It’s the fourth 100-plus partnership between Rohit and Rahul. They have kept the momentum going.
Rahul ups the ante in the Milne over. After a dot. He smashes one over extra cover for a SIX and then pulls the next one for FOUR to long leg. Three runs off the last three balls make it 13 runs off the over.
After a four runs off the first three balls, Rohit slices one over backward point for a FOUR. A single follows. Rahul then whips it wide of short fine leg for a FOUR. 13 runs off the Boult over.
After 10 overs,India 79/0 ( KL Rahul 45 , Rohit Sharma (C) 30)
India finally get a bit of momentum back.
Sodhi bowls another decent over. He’s helped by some very good fielding from Phillips at deep mid-wicket who makes a couple of very good stops to save a potential four runs. Rohit looked to go hard at the ball but didn’t get it off the middle. 6 runs off the over.
Rohit then takes on Santner, hits him for a couple of sixes. Both over deep mid-wicket. He gets lucky off the last ball though as Boult drops a relatively touch catch charging in from long on. 16 off the Santner over. 22 off the last two.
After 8 overs,India 57/0 ( KL Rahul 39 , Rohit Sharma (C) 14)
Rohit and Rahul have calmed down a bit.
Sodhi starts off well. But it was evident that he was facing problems gripping the ball. He bowled short balls and full tosses as well and was lucky not to concede a boundary in that over. A two and five singles make it 7 off the over.
Santner is brought back. He bowls with good pace and accuracy and gives away just five runs. 12 runs off the last two overs.
After 6 overs,India 45/0 ( KL Rahul 32 , Rohit Sharma (C) 10)
A good couple of overs for the Kiwis.
Southee is brought back into the attack. He bowls a good over. Gives away just two runs. There is a huge appeal for a caught behind as Rahul missed his cut but the umpire turned it down. Just three runs off the over.
Boult is also brought back. Rahul started off the over in style with a thumping SIX over covers. But Boult bounced back hard to concede just four off the last five balls.
13 runs off the last two overs.
After 4 overs,India 32/0 ( KL Rahul 22 , Rohit Sharma (C) 8)
Change from both ends with Santer and Milne replacing Southee and Boult respectively. Just two singles conceded by the left-arm spinner as Rohit finally opens his account. Milne’s expensive though, conceding 14 from his first including the first six of the innings as Rohit brings out his trademark pull shot in the fourth delivery. Positive start for the Men in Blue so far.
After 2 overs,India 16/0 ( KL Rahul 15 , Rohit Sharma (C) 0)
Edged… and safe! KL Rahul starts off with a streaky boundary towards third man. He then collects a brace next ball. Bit of delay after the first two balls. Big appeal for caught-behind off the third, but the umpire shakes his head and signals a wide down the leg side. Eight from the first over. Trent Boult from the other end, and Rahul welcomes him with a lovely cover drive. Boult, however, responds with four consecutive dots. Rahul ends the over with another majestic drive, this time down the ground to move to 15.
After 20 overs,New Zealand 153/6 ( Mitchell Santner 8 , Adam Milne 5)
A brilliant finish from India. Just 13 off the last two overs. New Zealand post 153/6
Harshal’s slower ones have been difficult to hit. He again bowls an over full of slower ones and gives away just 6 runs in the penultimate over. There were a couple of leading edges as well which fell safely.
Chahar bowled the last over. Milne miscued his heave off the first ball but it fell safely in between the converging fielders. Another mishit fell short of the deep mid-wicket fielder and they scampered through for two. After a leg bye, Chahar bowls two dots. They scamper through for a two off the last ball. Just 7 off the last over.
This was top class bowling from Indian bowlers under difficult conditions! #shabnam

The Free Hit was a decent ball, a slower one that beat Phillips. The next one was a bouncer which got the WICKET of Phillips. Another play and a miss followed. The last two balls yielded just one run. 10 runs and a wicket off the over.
Bhuvneshwar is brought back. He gives away just two off the first five balls and then gets the HUGE wicket of Neesham off the last ball. 2 runs and a wicket off the over.
12 runs and a wicket off the last two overs.
After 16 overs,New Zealand 128/4 ( Glenn Phillips 26 , James Neesham 1)

Phillips playing a nice little innings here. After a couple of singles and a WIDE, Phillips hammers one over long on for a SIX, off Bhuvneshwar. The last three balls yield two singles. 11 off the Bhuvneshwar over.
Ashwin is brought back into the attack and he strikes first ball to send back Seifert. Bowls another brilliant over as he gives away just runs. He finishes with brilliant figures of 4-0-19-2. He’s bowled it a touch quicker in this T20I compared to Jaipur.

Chahar is brought back. After a single, Phillips hammers a six off the second ball. A single and a couple of twos make it 12 runs off the over. 20 off the last two.
After 12 overs,New Zealand 94/3 ( Glenn Phillips 4, Tim Seifert 4)

Harshal replaces Ashwin. He gets his maiden wicket on debut as he has Mitchell caught at long on. He nearly has his second the next ball as Seifert is sucked in by the slower one and nearly pops it to extra cover. The ball falls just short. The next one is a bouncer, Seifert upper cuts it to third man to get off the mark with a FOUR. 4 runs and a wicket off it. 9 runs and a wicket off the last two overs.
