Yes, I did watch the match and I still believe in what I wrote. There is problem with the middle order and you cannot deny that. Did you forget Rohit Sharma's out? except Rahul who else scored half century. Go and watch the highlights and then you will understand the word quick intervals.
Lol. Do you even understand the meaning of quick intervals? As I mentioned earlier, Kohli scored something like 44 along with Rahul who scored a half century and they guided India to a great total and Shreyas sealed the deal at the end. The middle order is already improving at present.

As expected, another comprehensive victory by India and their 1st T20 series win in NZ. Nothing surprising at all considering how badly New Zealand is performing these days.
Yes for the first time after so long i am watching 3rd wicket partnership without Kohli and both of these are batting so nicely.
Yeah, I am a fan of Iyer's batting in T20 and find him more stable as a batsman than Rohit now. He managed the earlier T20 and now this one too and he doesn't take much risks when not needed. Glad to have and see some dependable batsmen now.
I feel Rahul will get the MoM this time but even Jadeja bowled well with the best economy.

The straight boundary is just around 50 meter lol. A bouncer from bowler went to one bounce four above the wicket keeper without even touching the bat. We here have bigger boundaries in our tennis ball cricket.

Lol Yeah, minimum boundaries needs to be at least 65 meter. otherwise its joke for batsmen and nightmare for Bowlers.
Considering the short boundaries situation in this ground, we must admire the Indian bowlers and give them full credit that they restricted Kiwis batsmen easily, Twice.
Yeah if we reach until dube then I think we need to replace someone from the top order. Because if you number 5-6 is coming onto bat when target is merely 133 then maybe you need to replace your number 3 & 4
India doesn't have much options for 3 and 4 and right now Kohli and Iyer are doing fine as Pant was not performing good earlier being at that position. Hardik is not missed due to this reason.
Now we are at 86 runs with Kohli gone for 11. Just 47 runs more with 8 wickets which they can get without losing any wicket.
But the ground is so small, it's funny that even edges are going for six. The straight boundary is just around 50 meter lol. A bouncer from bowler went to one bounce four above the wicket keeper without even touching the bat. We here have bigger boundaries in our tennis ball cricket.

Newzealand are bowling very well and are also very aggressive on the field till now they have give zero extra run. Indian batsmen are struggling to play the shots. Good decision by Newzealand to bat first.
Edit -1 wide in the 12th over.

New Zealand again failed to perform with 132 runs. Till 84, they were going good but then despite of having wickets in hand, they failed to get 100 runs in those last 8 overs. Seifert tried his best but Taylor did not even try hard.
Sharma out after 2 fours. What was he even thinking

Is this really a batting pitch? Newzealand had a horrible first spell only 132. India shoul win the match comfortably. But it does not looks like they will as Rohit got out for just 2 runs.
If India only takes singal and the odd four they will easily win this match.

Not 2 runs but 8. Now they are pretty stable and they won't lose this match as there are more experienced players in the lineup.
Rohit got out last time also for 7 and now 8. They just made some minor change by bringing Dube after Pandey but that's not going to make a difference. I don't want it to reach Dube to defend such a small score.

Actually even I am surprised to see the NZ batting towards the last few overs as they just could not manage to score big . 134 to win should not be a difficult task for India but they have lost Rohit in this process of chasing quickly . They are now 23/1 in 4 overs and require more 110 runs only .

Team India relies a lot on the performance of the top 3 batsmen. This is one of the weakest point of Indian batting line up. Last match in quick interval the top 3 batsmen were out. Which was actually good for shreyas as he was able to perform but, if he also fails then we have Manish pandey and Ravinder jadeja. They have not been consistent in their performance. They need someone stable down the order after shreyas. Let's see whether there will be any changes for today.
Did you even watch the recent matches? The Indian middle order has improved a lot these days thanks to Shreyas and Rahul. Rahul scored a half century while Kohli almost scored one in the first match which is why your statement about them getting out quickly doesn't make any sense.Pandey is doing alright with the chances that he gets and we all know that Jadeja can perform now and then. New Zealand is an inconsistent team these days and India just defeated Australia comprehensively. New Zealand is already struggling right now and this 2nd T20 looks like India's match all the way.

Even New Zealand starting a good partnership by Guptil and Munro, the team collapsed only with 132 which I think very low score against a team like India. NZ middle order was very helpless against Sir Jadeja and Bumrah. Pretty easy win for India I think.
NewZealand and Indians playing at same Auckland ground, which is batsmen friendly but scorecard showing very different picture. did they changed the pitch? if not then Indian bowlers must be doing their job perfectly.
Edit : Damn Sir Jadeja bowling spell looking sweet. Manjrekar hiding his face again
It is really batsman friendly pitch, only the openers felt like it was a batting wicket but the rest of the players were struggling to score runs and they somehow reached 132 runs and it will be another easy win for India unless we see some extraordinary bowling from New Zealand i do not see they are able to defend a small score like this. Jadeja bowled extremely well tonight and what is with the Manjrekar story. Edit : Damn Sir Jadeja bowling spell looking sweet. Manjrekar hiding his face again

We have New Zealand and India ad let us see how they are going to perform and with the win against New Zealand in the first T20 they will be having the confidence to win the series and hopefully the jet lag for some players will be sorted by now.
New Zealand batsmen got a good start during the last match, but their bowlers are not performing well. Most of their strike bowlers are missing. They don't have much chances of defeating a team such as India, if they don't have bowlers such as Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry in their lineup. The replacement bowlers (Ish Sodhi, Hamish Bennett and Blair Tickner) got smashed all around the park by Rahul and Sreyas during the last match. Hopefully this time they will be able to put up a decent fight.
Yes the New Zealand has been lose the match due to weak bowling show from New Zealand team. Because Indian has been 142 for 4 wickets still needs 62 runs in 6.4 over. If new zealand bowlers can be turn the match there favor of new zealand but they failed. Maybe today we can expect more changes in new zealand bowling department.
I think the difference in the last match was of the innings played by Sheyas Iyer which helped India to win the match. As in middle order India lacked experience NZ was able to pick up quick wickets during that interval and if they could have got Sheyas as well quickly match was on their side. Hope today as well we will be able to see a tough competition between both the sides and match goes till last over.

NZ winning the toss elected to bat first. They started their innings quite well and lost first wicket at score of 48 and then quick couple of wickets have put them on backseat. They are now 76/3 in 11.4 overs and if India could restrict them for next couple of overs the pressure would build on NZ and in trying to increase the net run rate may lose wickets. NZ on other side would like to build a decent partnership here and accelerate in last five overs.
