No intent whatsoever in putting some tough competition, the team just wants to go easy and in comfort zone. Just going wherever the opposition takes it, no cricketing brain/thinking involved whatsoever. Kept 4 overs of Yuzi in 40s!#NZvIND #UmranMalik #Shardulthakur https://t.co/18dOC9qQBr

T20 world cup loss brought umran Malik into team. India need another world cup loss to take out 120kmph bowlers from the team pathetic bowling lineup. As long as u bowl 120, every team will thrash us like this..#NZvIND

Well played @BLACKCAPS 👏🏽 Made 300 look like 270. Williamson all class as always but Latham stole the show. Not easy for an opener to move down the order and still be successful. India missed a trick by just playing 5 bowlers. #NZvIND pic.twitter.com/bcGnf6K5Ry
