World T20: India restrict New Zealand for 126 runs

Nagpur, Mar 15 (IBNS) Playing their inaugural encounter in the ICC World T20 against New Zealand, host India restricted them for 126 runs for the loss of 7 wickets, after the Kiwis won the coin toss and decided to bat first, here on Tuesday.
India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni started operations with Ravichandran Ashwin and the spinner was tonked for a 86 meter six in the very first ball by Martin Guptill, before his two-ball innings was cut short by the spinner who sent him back to the pavilion by trapping him right on front.
 
Colin Munro, who walked in at number three, hit a six in the very over but was gone in the ensuing Ashish Nehra over as he tried scooping one over mid-off which ended up being an easy catch for Hardik Pandya.
 
The Indian bowlers tightened their grip as Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson (8) succumbed to the pressure and played in the hands of part timer Suresh Raina.
 
Ross Taylor (10) too did not last long and was eventually run out by Raina.
 
Apart from Corey Anderson (34) and Luke Ronchi (21), none of the other Kiwi batters got going.
 
For India, Ashwin, Bumrah, Nehra, Raina and Jadeja picked up a wicket each.
