New Zealand finally opened their account against India as the Blackcaps registered a comprehensive 90 run win over the Men in Blue in the 4th T20I. Jacob Duffy was the star with the ball as his four-fer restricted India to just 167 runs on the board.

The dream got shattered in the very first over when Jacob Duffy picked up two wickets to put New Zealand in the driving seat.
