    T20 World Cup: Varun Chakaravarthy and Shivam Dube picked two wickets each as India defeated New Zealand by 48 runs in the T20I series opener at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur on Wednesday.

    India’s batting had already set up for victory 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. India’s bowlers then closed out the contest, as the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the five-game series.
