T20 World Cup: Shocking defeat for India, lose by 47 runs against New Zealand

Starting as favorites for the tournament, India lost to the Black caps in the opener of the World T20 cricke at Nagpur. Kiwi captain Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat. The Kiwi's picked three specialist spinners and humbled hosts India by 47 runs in a spin-track on Tuesday.



New Zealand posted 126 for 7 as wickets fell regularly at Nagpur’s VCA Stadium. We saw a jam-packed house at the match. New Zealand’s spin attack Mitchell Santner (4-11), Nathan McCullum (2-15) and the Indian-born Ish Sodhi (3-18) finished the job for New Zealand as the hosts were bundled out for 79 in 18.1 overs. Captain cool MS Dhoni top scored for India with 30.  

New Zealand 126 for 7 (Anderson 34, Bumrah 1-15, Raina 1-16) beat India 79 (Dhoni 30, Santner 4-11, Sodhi 3-18) by 47 runs
