India got off to a winning start in the three-match T20 series with a five-wicket win over the Kiwis with two balls to spare.
Tim Southee’s side scored 164-6 in their 20 overs with opener Martin Guptill and Mark Chapman scoring half-centuries.
In reply, the hosts completed the run chase in 19.4 overs thanks to Suryakumar Yadav’s match-winning 62-run knock while the captain made 48.
It was the first meeting between the two sides since their T20 World Cup fixture, which the Kiwis secured an eight-wicket win.
