IND vs NZ 3rd T20I: Twitter Reacts As Visitors Restrict Hosts To Modest Total 1

New Zealand bowlers came up with yet another disciplined bowling performance as the world number one T20I side restricted India to 67 for 5 in the rain-curtailed third and final game in Thiruvananthapuram which has been reduced to 8 overs per side.

After being asked to bat first, Indian openers- Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma were well contained by Trent Boult in the very first over as the duo collected seven runs. With the rain not allowing the batsmen to play the shots, the duo failed to get going and were dismissed off consecutive balls by Tim Southee in the third over with just 15 runs on the board.

Virat Kohli hit a four and a six in the fourth over bowled by Ish Sodhi but perished in the same over while trying to play a big shot. Manish Pandey played some big shots to accelerate the run-rate, but the hosts suffered yet another setback when Ish Sodhi accounted for Shreyas Iyer for just 6. By the time the sixth over ended, India huffed and puffed to 50 for the loss for four wickets. The Men in Blue eventually managed to put up 67 in the series-decider.
