Kiwis crush Kohli’s men by 8 wickets in Dubai

 

Dubai: A Virat Kohli-led India lost to a clinical New Zealand by eight wickets in an ICC T20 World Cup Super 12 match on Sunday, virtually dashing their hopes of making the semifinals.

A timid India could only manage a below-par 110/7 in their vital match and then saw New Zealand chase down the target of 111 with 33 balls to spare. Opener Daryl Mitchell top-scored for New Zealand with 49 off 35 balls, while skipper Kane Williamson made an unbeaten 33.
