IND vs NZ 2nd T20I Highlights: India win by 6 wickets, level the series 1-1

Washington Sundar: All of us were on our toes. I am sure everyone watching would have been on their toes. This has been very very exciting. Two-three games like this out of every 10-11 games would be amazing. That kind of misjudgment happens in such pressurizing matches (on the mix-up with SKY). It was very important for Surya to stay till the end that’s why I sacrificed my wicket.

India have finally chased down a poultry 100-run target! But mind it that was no poultry total considering the surface and the manner in which New Zealand bowled made it even more thought to reach the target. The bowling cards of both sides have looked like a batting card today as 30 of the 40 overs were bowled by spinners. The series is now levelled 1-1 and Ahmedabad will have a game to savour as both sides will play to end on a winning note and also lift the trophy.

19.5 Finally a boundary! Short and SKY flat bats it over mid-off. The ball meets the boundary cushion and SKY has a boundary to his name. Imagine a match where Suryakumar Yadav played 31 balls and hit only one boundary! Such has been the contest tonight, and and excellent game of cricket despite of it being low scoring!

19.4 Hardik Pandya plays towards mid on and they take a quick single. A direct hit would have been a wicket.

India need 3 runs off 2 balls

19.3 Tickner has dropped SKY in his follow-through. He smashes it straight and the ball goes straight into Tickner’s hands but pops out as fast as it went. Tickner cannot believe!

India need 4 off 3 balls

19.1 Short, wide of off and Hardik gets and edge that seemed to race away to boundary, but the third man was too fine and cuts it down. Just a single.

Blair Tickner to bowl the final over

18.5 Finally a boundary! Hardik Pandya flicks it square on the leg side and the ball has finally seen the fence! Welcome boundary for India and they shall breathe easy now. A boundary after 45 balls for India

This is excellent stuff from Ferguson! Just two runs from the first four deliveries as SKY and Pandya try to go after the pacer. The pressure surely mounting on Indian batters now!
