New Zealand won the 2nd T20

     New Zealand 167/5 (20/20 ov)    
     India 166/4 (20.0/20 ov)
     Brendon McCullum is the Man of the Match and the Man of the Series.

                                                                     Yuvaraj  Enters the field

Commentary:


Brendon McCullum: My head's is ok. Kyle is a bit dazed. The pitch was really good in the first 20 overs. It was good in the first 6 overs of the Indian batting, but slowed down later. After 14 overs, I was being affected by the heat. It was nice to get a win and was very important. It was probably my fault ( the collision with Kyle Mills). Thankfully it wasn't too bad in the end. Makes it a lot better knowing that we have a win.

Dhoni: I think they bowled brilliantly and the wicket slowed down a bit. I and Yuvi did find it hard in the middle. Virat gave us a very good start and Raina also batted better. This is a good thing for us ahead of the World Cup. We thought the wicket will stay good till the end, but it slowed down a bit and if it had stayed better we could have performed better. We are playing too many shots at the start and we need to work on that in the upcoming World Cup.

Ross Taylor: I think James Franklin needs a big pat on the back. To come out and bowl like that at the end he deserves a pat. We gave ourselves a chance after getting to 160. Virat Kohli batted well, could have taken the game away. We will take this win and confidence into the World Cup. The tour has been tough. Hopefully we can turn it on in the World Cup.
