A Virat-led India vanquish to Kiwis by eight wickets in an ICC T20 WC Super 12 match on Sunday, virtually winding-up their hopes of making to the semi-finals.
A coy India could only manage a score of 110/7 in their inquisitive match and then saw New Zealand quest the target of 111 with 33 balls to remain. Opener Daryl Mitchell top-scored for NZ with 49 off 35 balls, while skipper Kane Williamson made 33.
Sent into bat by NZ skipper Kane Williamson, India strayed wickets at regular gaps and tussled to pose any serious warning to a disciplined Kiwi attack. Leg-break bowler Ish Sodhi and left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner returned atypical figures of 2/17 and 0/15 from their quota of four overs each. Pace head Trent Boult picked up 3/20.
