India vs New Zealand 1st T20I: Full List Of Award Winners, Player Of The Match, Stats, Post-Match Presentation

Captain
Mitchell
Santner
(4-1-11-2)
lead
his
team
from
the
front
as
the
Men
in
Blue
fell
21
runs
short
in
the
run
chase
of
178.
Michael
Bracewell
(2/31)
and
Lockie
Ferguson
(2/33)
also
played
their
parts
well
as
Indian
batters
kept
losing
their
wickets.

Washington
Sundar
(50
off
28
and
2/22
with
the
ball
from
his
4
overs)
was
the
biggest
positive
for
the
hosts
in
a
game
where
top-order
batters
failed.
The
all-rounder
played
his
part
well
both
with
the
bat,
ball
and
also
in
the
field.

Suryakumar
Yadav
(47)
was
the
second-highest
scorer
for
the
hosts
but
his
departure
proved
fatal
for
the
team.
India
could
only
score
155
for
the
loss
of
9
wickets
in
the
run
chase
as
New
Zealand
bowlers
put
up
a
brilliant
show.

Earlier
in
the
day,
an
impressive
cameo
from
Finn
Allen
and
magnificent
half-centuries
from
Daryl
Mitchell
and
Devon
Conway
helped
the
visitors
post
a
big
total.
Arshdeep
Singh
–
who
conceded
27
runs
in
the
20th
over
–
was
a
very
expensive
bowler
from
the
Indian
side.
It
was
his
final
over
which
shifted
the
momentum
in
New
Zealand’s
favour.

India
vs
New
Zealand
1st
T20I:
Who
said
what?

Hardik
Pandya,
India
Captain:
No
one
even
thought
that
the
wicket
would
play
like
that
and
both
teams
were
surprised.
But
they
played
better
cricket
on
this
and
that’s
why
the
result
end
up
like
that.
Actually,
the
new
ball
was
turning
more
than
the
old
one
and
the
way
spun,
the
way
it
bounced,
it
caught
us
by
surprise.
But
somehow
we
pulled
it
back
and
were
in
the
game
till
Surya
and
myself
were
batting.
In
the
hindsight,
I
don’t
think
this
wicket
was
177,
we
were
with
the
ball
and
conceded
20-25
runs.
It
is
a
young
group
and
we
will
only
learn
from
this.
The
way
he
bowled,
he
batted
and
fielded,
it
was
Washington
against
New
Zealand
today.
We
needed
someone
who
can
bat
and
bowl,
gives
us
a
lot
of
confidence
and
will
help
us
going
forward.

Mitchell
Santner,
NZ
Captain:
It
was
a
bit
of
a
shock
for
everyone
involved,
how
much
it
kinda
spun
in
the
second
innings.
But
it
was
a
great
game
and
it
was
pretty
tight
at
the
end,
we
saw
a
lot
of
runs
in
the
ODI
series
and
it
was
nice
to
see
the
ball
spin
a
bit
more.
I
don’t
think
we
were
ever
safe,
170-odd
was
nice
with
Daryl
hitting
a
couple
over
and
he
batted
extremely
well,
we
knew
we
had
a
sniff
with
180.
It
was
nice
to
chip
some
wickets
in
the
powerplay
and
we
had
trouble
with
that
in
the
ODIs.
At
the
toss,
we
were
going
to
bowl
because
we
know
chasing
is
so
good
over
here
and
especially
with
the
dew.
That’s
always
the
challenge
(on
the
captain
using
himself).
You
don’t
want
to
be
seen
doing
the
easy
overs
and
stuff
like
that.
We
knew
it
was
spinning
in
the
powerplay
and
it
was
nice
to
chip
one
out.

Daryl
Mitchell,
Player
of
the
Match:
It
is
nice
to
contribute
to
a
score
which
helps
us
win
a
game.
I
thought
the
way
the
boys
bowled
at
the
end
was
pretty
special.
It
is
nice
to
take
some
momentum
into
the
rest
of
the
T20
series.
The
guys
who
went
in
early
said
it
was
pretty
difficult
against
spin
because
of
the
tacky
nature.
It
was
my
job
to
build
a
partnership
and
then
take
the
onus
on
myself
after
Conway’s
departure.
For
me
it
is
being
really
present
and
really
clear,
keeping
it
simple
as
possible
and
trusting
my
skills,
not
every
time
it
comes
off
in
T20
cricket
but
it
is
always
nice
when
you
get
a
few
off
the
middle.
