NZ vs IND 2nd T20I Match Highlights
IND vs NZ, Kane Williamson’s fifty was not enough to guide New Zealand to victory
NZ vs IND 2nd T20I Match Highlights: The Black Caps failed to appear at all throughout the run chase. Conway and Williamson formed a partnership, but neither of them was able to force the pace at all, with the exception of one Sundar over that resulted in a score of 17. They needed Allen to light up, but he fell off the first ball of the innings.
One fantastic inning. Williamson did reach fifty, but that was just a milestone and nothing more because he had timing issues the entire time.
India’s powerplay was subpar. By the tenth over, both openers were lost. We’re only headed for a below-par performance. Then, SKY arrived and played an inning that gave 200 the appearance of being possible.

Bhuvneshwar gets three runs early but loses nine in his third over.

IND vs NZ Suryakumar Yadav Comments
In T20, a hundred is always special but at the same time, it was really important for me to bat till the very end. Hardik was telling me to bat till the 18th or 19th over and get to a score of 185 or so. After the end of the 16th over, we had a chat about taking it deep. It was important to maximise the last few overs. Have been doing the same things over and over again, in the nets and it’s just coming off for me.
