Pant, who opened the batting with Ishan Kishan, continued to waste the opportunities given to him after the wicketkeeper-batter was dismissed for 6 off 13 balls. The left-handed batter top edged a short delivery by Lockie Ferguson and was caught at third man by Tim Southee.
Pant was picked above Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson in the playing 11. His performance and recent run left fans questioning his place in the team, especially with a specialist opener in Gill and a deserving Samson in the squad.
Here is a look at few fan reactions to Pant’s performance on Twitter:

Coming back to the match, the in-form Suryakumar Yadav, who walked in at number 3, smashed a 49-ball century to guide India to huge total of 191 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs after New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson invited the opposition to bat first.
Meanwhile, Tim Southee of New Zealand took a hattrick in the final over of the innings, conceding just 5 runs in the over. Southee got rid of Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda and Washington Sundar in successive deliveries.
