    India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I Score: IND 70/4 (14.3)

    Washington Sundar is livid with Suryakumar Yadav right now. It was an error in judgement by Surya as he was eager to get off strike. Hardik Pandya in the middle now.

    India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I Score: NZ 21/1 (3.3)

    Timber! Yuzvendra Chahal gets the better of Finn Allen. There is some sharp turn in this wicket. So, the decision to field three spinners in this match can certainly be an advantage to India. However, that will also make the chase critical for the hosts.

    India vs New Zealand 2nd T20I Score: NZ 6/0 (1)

    A steady start from Devon Conway as Hardik Pandya found some movement. Washington Sundar to bowl the 2nd over. Can he get an early breakthrough? Some turn! Good start from the off spinner.
