India vs New Zealand 2019: It Was One Of Our Complete Performances - Kane Williamson

After the series loss in ODI format of the game, Kane Williamson-led side draws the first blood of the 3-match T20I series. They have outclassed Indians pretty convincingly in all the sections of the game to bag a massive 80-run victory. Tim Seiffert has been a star with the bat while Lockie Ferguson and Tim Southee delivered with the ball.

He continued to smash even after the power play overs to make most of the opportunity in absence of Martin Guptill. his incredible effort pushed New Zealand to a massive 219-run tally on the board.

In reply to chase, Indians never really got going, as Kiwis bowlers were pretty decent with their line and lengths. Lockie Ferguson was the star, who delivered the wickets when it requires the most. Ish Sodhi and Southee also chipped in at times.
