Match Report: India and New Zealand have hosted tons of exciting matches over the years, with the latter being dominant in recent times.

Colin Munro was the star player of the match, India failed to chase down the target but the sixes that were hit in the match were remarkable. Scroll down below to find the video.

Virat Kohli: “I thought New Zealand were really good with the bat early on. We didn’t take our chances, yes, but at once stage they were looking to get 235-240 and credit to Bumrah and Bhuvi to pull things back. Eventually we weren’t good enough with the bat.

When you’re chasing 200, all the batsmen need to chip in, or one batsman has to keeping going at a 200 strike-rate. Tried to do my best. MS was very good at the end. But we were left with a very difficult task. It happens to a lot of batsmen, sometimes you are in good form, but you don’t get enough balls.

We back our batsmen though. We back Hardik, and its just a little glitch. After 13-14 overs, it gripped a bit. But we have no excuses, we weren’t good enough with the bat. There wasn’t any kind of dew. The ball got scuffed up [to help it turn].”

Kane Williamson: “I guess a contrasting performance from the last game. An improved performance on all sides, we need to keep doing this to beat India here and going on to the next game, we need to repeat this. Great partnership up top, and obviously Munners getting a hundred was fantastic. When a batsman gets that many runs,the team will always get a big total.

Guptill and Bruce gave good support and the bowlers did really well to defend it. Whenever you watch a player similar to you perform, you want to emulate them and our two spinners did really well, they consistently came in to bowl tough overs and they bowled very very well”

Colin Munro: Felt good tonight. Few chances went my way and that’s T20 cricket. Taken a while, I was here in the A trip. Felt good with the bat but kept getting out. I love batting at the top of the order, getting the team off to a flyer with Guppy.

The way I bat is the same every time, whether I’m chasing 200 or 120. Go out there, stay still and try and hit fours and sixes. I was talking with McMillan, and the times when I’ve premeditated is when I’ve been trying to do too much. So I’ve just got to stay still and react to the ball”
