NEW ZEAL: Colin Munro on way to his century Rajkot: Opener Colin Munro hammered an unbeaten 109 before bowlers straitjacketed the Indian batsmen as New Zealand outplayed the hosts by 40 runs in the second T20I to level the three-match series, here on Saturday. Left-handed Munro used his bat like a sledge-hammer, striking seven sixes and as many fours in his 58-balls knock to power New Zealand to an imposing 196 for two. Munro raised a 105-run partnership for the first wicket with Martin Guptill (45 off 41), setting the platform for a big total in their do-or-die match. Top-order blows pegged India back with both the openers — Shikhar Dhawan (1) and Rohit Sharma (5) — sent back by paceman Trent Boult (4/34). India started the run chase in a disastrous fashion by losing in-form openers, Dhawan and Rohit Sharma, in the second over to Boult.
