Live Cricket Score: India v New Zealand, 1st T20I, Ranchi

New Zealand take 1-0 lead

Washington Sundar scores his maiden T20I fifty, but his 28-ball 50 goes in vain as India fall well short as they finish with 155/9. A clinical performance from New Zealand as they register a 21-run victory.

Washington fights but wickets tumble

Although Washington Sundar has struck a few boundaries and a six, wickets at the other end aren't helping India's cause as they slip to 127/8.

India lose key wickets

One of those few times I have seen SKY play a shot without much conviction as he chips Sodhi to Allen at long-on. Huge wicket! Hardik then mistimed a slog and Bracewell took an easy return catch.

Santner, who is leading from the front, then removed Hooda. For a while there seemed to be a glimmer of hope for India but New Zealand have snuffed that out.

SKY to the fore

When India are in trouble, there is Suryakumar to bail them out! Once again SKY exploring all corners of the ground with sweeps and cuts. He did have a scare when he missed an attempted reverse sweep off Sodhi. The visitors did take the review but the ball-tracker suggested the impact was umpire's call and it was just hitting off-stump.

Hardik is giving him good company. India are back in the hunt now.
