Reactions on Twitter: India wins low scoring thriller against New Zealand in Lucknow
The second T20I between India and New Zealand took place at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday, where the hosts won the match to tie the ongoing three-match series 1-1.
New Zealand’s decision to bat first after winning the toss proved horribly wrong as they continued to lose wickets at regular intervals, only managing to reach 99 for the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs.
Captain Mitchell Santner top scorer for the Black Caps with 19 out of 23. No New Zealand batsman could even cross the 20-run mark. The Indian bowlers put on a dominant show led by Arshdeep Singh, who took two wickets for just 7 runs. Likewise, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav each took a wicket while Deepak Hooda also packed a scalp.
In response, the hosts also had difficulties on a challenging course, but eventually chased the 100 target with six wickets in hand. Suryakumar Yadav highest scored with an undefeated 26 out of 31 while opener Ishan Kishan made 19 of 32.

This pitch is not best suited for T20 cricket. Succeeding shouldn’t be hard work in T20s. The sold-out crowd on Sunday night deserved better. #INDvNZ

No sixes but still an exciting game. New Zealand fought valiantly to defend 100 with 17 overs spin, but in the end @surya_14kumar and @hardikpandya7 fought it out and a good win for team India. With the series level 1-1 should be a decision maker cracker in Ahmedabad. pic.twitter.com/oTeH05noye

The big advantage of players with dual skills in the team. Hooda was perfect for this situation.
