IND vs NZ
How did the match pan out?
India kept NZ under control with some disciplined bowling. Williamson and Taylor were superb for the Kiwis. The conditions were overcast, before it started to rain heavily and that resulted in the match getting stopped. India were stunned early on and the side kept losing wickets. It was Dhoni and Jadeja that kept the side in the hunt. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.
