‘Outflanked in all offices’
India skipper Rohit Sharma couldn’t conceal his failure, having chosen to bowl when he won the hurl as pursuing an objective is his side’s solid suit.
“We were defeated in every one of the three offices,” he said. “We have pursued focuses of 200 (or more) previously and that is most likely the reason we played with eight batsmen.
“As a group we have dependably pursued down targets and we trust that whatever objective is set before us we can do it.
He included: “We were certain of getting that objective. It’s a little ground. We simply required that one major organization which we neglected to do.”
Seifert, whose past best innings in eight T20 internationals was an unbeaten 14 on introduction, gave New Zealand a flying begin nearby Munro, who succumbed to 34 off 20.
Seifert was given an actual existence on 71 when dropped on the limit by Dinesh Karthik and included a further 13 keeps running before he was bowled by left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed. His 43-ball innings included seven fours and six sixes.
Williamson added 34 to the New Zealand cause and there were venturesome appearances late in the innings from Ross Taylor with 23 off 14 and an unbeaten 20 from seven conveyances by Scott Kuggeleijn.
With eleven runs required in each finished, India vacillated from the begin when Sharma was rejected for one.
Shikhar Dhawan struck a snappy fire 29 until he was bowled by Lockie Ferguson and his rejection started a crumple of five wickets for 26 keeps running in 33 conveyances.
MS Dhoni and Krunal Pandya steadied the ship with a 52-run association before the last three wickets succumbed to 10 runs.
