1st T20I: It's Always Good When We Get Those Numbers On The Board, Says Suryakumar
T20 World Cup: India captain Suryakumar Yadav praised his side’s batting depth and preparation to unfurl big hits after securing a 48-run win over New Zealand in the T20I series opener at the VCA Stadium on Wednesday.
India’s batting had already set up for win in their build-up to next month’s T20 World Cup, with Abhishek Sharma’s 84 and Rinku Singh’s unbeaten 44 lifting them to 238/7 – their highest T20I total against New Zealand. Chasing 239, New Zealand were reduced to 52/3, before Glenn Phillips kept them in contention with a fluent 78 off 40 balls, laced with four boundaries and six maximums.
Mark Chapman made 39 off 24 balls, as their 79-run partnership off 42 balls briefly raised hopes of a successful chase before both fell in quick succession, as New Zealand ended up making 190/7 in their 20 overs, giving India a 1-0 lead in the five-game series.
