India ne New Zealand ko Christchurch me aik aur thriller me hara diya! Saturday 24 October ko Hagley Oval me khele gaye doosre T20I me India ne 181 runs ka target 1 ball baqi rehte chase kar liya — 181/6 (19.5 overs) — aur paanch-match series me 2-0 ki bartari hasil kar li.
New Zealand ne pehle batting karte hue 180/5 (20 overs) banaye. Glenn Phillips (70 off 43) aur Bevon Jacobs (58 off 46) ne mushkil shuruat ke baad team ko competitive total tak pohanchaya. India ke liye Arshdeep Singh ne 2/33 liye.
Jawab me India ki shuruat tez hui (40 runs 4.4 overs me), lekin captain Mitchell Santner ke 4/21 ne match palat diya — India 70/5 (11th over) par aa gaya. Naman Dhir (31 off 17, teen chhakke) ne 42 runs ki partnership se umeed jagayi, lekin 15th over me un ke out hone par India 112/6 par tha — aakhri 31 balls par 69 runs darkar the.
Yahin se Tilak Varma (51* off 26 balls, 6 fours + 1 six) aur Nitish Kumar Reddy (26* off 13) ne kamaal kar diya: dono ne naqabil-e-shikast 69 runs ki partnership sirf 30 balls par banayi aur India ko jeet dila di. Tilak ko Player of the Match qarar diya gaya.
Is jeet ke sath India ne aik aur record bhi banaya: 300th men's T20I me apni 200th T20I jeet — ye karnama karne wali pehli team.
Final scorecard: New Zealand 180/5 (20 ov) — Phillips 70, Jacobs 58, Arshdeep 2/33 | India 181/6 (19.5 ov) — Tilak 51*, Dhir 31, Nitish 26*, Santner 4/21. India won by 4 wickets.
