Ranchi: In the first match of the T20 series, Team India had to face a defeat by 21 runs against New Zealand. With this, the Indian team has gone 0-1 down in the 3-match bilateral series.
With this defeat, India's invincible record at Ranchi ground has been broken. Earlier, the team did not lose any T20 match here.
Batting first, New Zealand posted a score of 176 in Dhoni's hometown Ranchi. After that the Indian batsmen were restricted to 155 in the allotted overs. The heroes of Kiwi team's victory were Daryl Mitchell and Mitchell Santner.
Chasing 177 for victory, India couldn't have asked for a worse start as they were 15 for 3 inside the Powerplay overs.
Surya and Hardik then stitched up a partnership before Surya was out for 47.
Wickets then fell in a heap even as Sundar hit a 50 but in vain as NZ pulled off a winner.
