Ind vs NZ T20 World Cup: Kiwi spinners dominate, in pics
Sent into bat by New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson, India lost wickets at regular intervals and struggled to pose any serious threat to a disciplined Kiwi attack at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
New Zealand with its leg-breaking bowlers and disciplined fielders intimidated the Men in blue and sent seven of the playing 11 to the pavilion and left team India with a low score of 110. Here are some glimpses from the first innings of the Ind Vs NZ T20 WC match.
