Indian Cricket Team lost 1st T20I match against New Zealand by 21 runs. The Men in Blue got a reality check as chasing 177 is not a big score in modern cricket and considering they hit deep. New Zealand bowlers were perfect with their line and length as they didn’t give the batters enough room.
Mitchell Santner would be ecstatic with his performance as the spinner took 2 scalps and gave away 11 runs in his 4 overs spell. He cleverly rotated his bowlers and his decision to play with 3 spinners worked wonders for the team as Indian batters were clueless.

Dashing right-handed batsman Daryl Mitchell hit a superb half-century, playing an unbeaten run of 59 runs in 30 balls, hitting 3 fours and 5 sixes. The batter was in complete control of the innings in which he took calculated risks. In the 20th, he slammed Arshdeep Singh all over the park, giving Black Caps momentum.
India needs to go back to the drawing board as Hardik’s decision to put Umran Malik in solitary confinement did not work out well. The Men in Blue need to regroup quickly and make a stellar comeback on January 29 (Sunday) as New Zealand look to seal the T20I Series.
