New Zealand's new ball bowlers were compact and didn't let the Indian top order get away unlike the first T20I on Friday. New Zealand held back their spinners too, but Rahul and Iyer settled down in this passage of play. Martin Guptill top-scored with 33 off 20 balls, while Tim Seifert was unbeaten on 33 not out off 26 balls. Guptill and Colin Munro (26) provided a measured start to New Zealand putting on 48 runs for the first wicket. Surprisingly, India held back Jasprit Bumrah (1-21) as Shardul Thakur (1-21) and Mohammed Shami (0-22) bowled four overs in the power play.
