1st T20I: Mitchell, Conway, Santner Guide New Zealand To 1-0 Series Lead Over India With 21-run Win
Daryl Mitchell and Devon Conway's fine half-centuries followed by captain Mitchell Santner's superb spin show guided New Zealand to 21-run win over in the first T20I and a 1-0 lead in the three-match series at the JSCA International Stadium, here on Friday.
After Mitchell and Conway hit 59 not out and 52 respectively in powering New Zealand to 176/6 in 20 overs on a spin-friendly pitch, including the former taking 27 runs off the final over against Arshdeep Singh, India lost their top three batters in powerplay as Santner, Michael Bracewell and Ish Sodhi made the most out of turn while controlling their trajectory, line and length well to give visitors' their first win of the tour.
