Chasing 216 runs, India were bundled out for 165 runs. Altough Shivam Dube blitzed with 23-ball 65 it was not enough for the hosts to get close to the target, Earlier, Tim Seifert’s 62 from 36 deliveries helped New Zealand to put on 215/7 from 20 overs after Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl first against Mitchell Santner in the fourth of the five match T20I series at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday

Sometimes you get a bit lucky early on and yeah sometimes the nature of the game, but the intent that we wanted to put on the bowlers early, sometimes you get a couple of top-edges and they go for boundary early. Look, he’s (Bumrah) got me with a beauty last game, so sometimes you’ve got to tip your hat, but you’ve just got to make sure that you look to play straight in the right line and then once you get that first ball, I reckon with him, then it’s a bit easier. (Bat differently today?)

I wouldn’t say a huge amount, to be honest. Sometimes you get some and others you don’t. And that’s the nature of T20 cricket, but the intent and putting pressure on the bowlers, that’s the main thing that we want to do. No matter where we play, the next game and the World Cup, every wicket’s going to be a bit different. So being able to adapt, but being true to yourself and putting pressure on the bowlers. I think if we look at the wickets, the pitches are going to be anything like this series, they’re going to be high-scoring. So you’ve just got to keep that intent up.
