New Zealand<\/a> have finally registered a win in the T20I series against India<\/a>, handing the visitors their second-biggest loss in terms of runs (87). After belting 259\/7, the result was never in doubt after the Black Caps ripped through India\u2019s dangerous top order to leave them four down at the end of the powerplay.<\/p>\n

Given the small ground dimensions at Eden Park and India\u2019s batting might, New Zealand needed a big score after losing the toss yet again. They went hard in the first half of the innings, but were in a tricky predicament at 112\/4 in the 11th over. However, it was all New Zealand from there.<\/p>\n

Glenn Phillips was at his best with the bat, beautifully supported by Michael Bracewell. The pair combined for 115 runs in just 6.4 overs, completely turning the momentum of the match. Phillips finished with 107 off 49 balls, including 32 from a single over off Nitish Kumar Reddy. Bracewell was mighty impactful with a 25-ball 65. They hit 10 fours and 16 sixes between them.<\/p>\n

During the break, there would have been anticipation as to whether India could chase this mammoth total. Earlier this week, they made a mockery of their chase of 199 in Wellington, reaching the target in 13.2 overs. But, the Auckland win ensured there was no dew, which put the ball in New Zealand\u2019s court.<\/p>\n

India lost Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan to Jacob Duffy in the first over, before Matt Fisher\u2019s hard length delivery accounted for Abhishek Sharma. By the time Shreyas Iyer was dismissed in the sixth over, the result was a formality. In the end, India did well to reach 172\/9 after falling to 121\/8 in the 12th over. Jacob Duffy had a fine night with the ball, taking 4\/23.<\/p>\n

\u201cFabulous. Really good pitch to bat on,\u201d man of the match Glenn Phillips said after the game. \u201cWe made the most of it. Nice to get a few and contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n

India captain Shreyas Iyer lamented the bowling as they were unable to stop the momentum. \u201cWe fell short in our bowling. The powerplay, especially in the third over, they got the momentum thereon,\u201d he said. \u201cExceptional shots from Glenn, some phenomenal shots, pure bliss. Important to restrospect, we have to see how to bounce back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every time, it\u2019s Abhishek Sharma or some other player in the team doing the job for Shreyas Iyer and the team. Today, the captain himself needed to step up and take the team to a respectable total, but he failed. Since his last century, he has gone 8 innings without scoring a\u2026<\/p>\n

I’m a bit flabbergasted that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been dropped for the fourth #INDvNZ<\/a> T20I.<\/p>\n

The series is already won, if you don’t give Vaibhav chances now, then when?<\/p>\n

I get the logic of going with the established XI first up. But when the series is won and you can rotate,\u2026<\/p>\n

India have lost just one game, and won three this tour so one loss isn\u2019t going to shake the Earth beneath our feet. <\/p>\n

But two problems today: 8 overs of Axar, Dhir and Nitesh cost India 123 runs.
And making your X-factor Vaibhav Sooryavanshi sit out. He\u2019s got to play every T-20\u2026<\/p>\n
