The second match of the T20 series between India and New Zealand was played last Friday (January 23). In the match, Team India chased record runs and won by 7 wickets. After the defeat in the match, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner was heartbroken.
After the match, Mitchell Santner made it clear that a total of 300 runs is needed to win the match against India. Obviously Santner looked very sad after the defeat. Apart from this, the Kiwi captain said that a total of 200 or 210 runs is not enough.
300 runs needed against India
In the post match presentation, Santner was asked what total is enough against India? Santner laughed and said, “I think 300 runs.”
Santner further said, “When you come against a team that bats deep on a good wicket, India started like that – with intent from the first ball. I think they have a license for every batsman.”
200 or 210 not enough
Talking further, Santner said, “For us it is about making every possible effort. But on the other hand we also know that we probably have to work harder, because 200 or 210 is not enough anymore.”
Team India’s record run chase
Let us tell you that in the match, New Zealand, batting first, scored 208 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Team India won by scoring 209 runs in 15.2 overs. This was India’s biggest run chase in T20, when 2 wickets fell at a score of less than 10 runs.
Team India leads 2-0 in the series
It is noteworthy that by winning the first two matches, Team India has taken a 2-0 lead in the series. Now by winning the third match, the Men in Blue will get their name written on the series.
