India beat New Zealand by four wickets in first T20I
























India chased down New Zealand’s 226-run target to win the first T20I by four wickets in Christchurch. The victory put India 1-0 ahead in the series.

Finn Allen and Glenn Phillips powered New Zealand to 225 for eight. Phillips made an unbeaten 82 from 40 balls, while Allen scored 45 from 24.

India began the chase at pace. Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson helped the visitors reach 94 for one in the Powerplay.

New Zealand slowed the scoring through the middle overs as Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner helped pull India back into the contest.

Shreyas Iyer scored 42 before falling, leaving Naman Dhir and Nitish Kumar Reddy to steer India toward the target.

Dhir finished unbeaten on 42 from 15 balls. He sealed the win by top-edging a Matt Henry delivery over the fine-leg boundary for six.

The chase was India’s highest successful total in T20 internationals. New Zealand had posted a joint-highest T20I score against India, and their highest total at home.
