T20 Super Eight India Lose By 10 Runs

What a heart thrilling game it was! The game was on till the last over. After maiden 190/8 in 20 overs by NZ batsmen India is behind ten runs in 20 overs and New Zealand have won the first Super Eight's match and gained two valuable points. Daniel Vettori was judged as Man of the match for his masterclass of left-arm bowling. Vettori's spell of 4 for 20 that turned the tide in New Zealand's favour.

Earlier McCullum counterattacked after the fall of Lou Vincent, driving Sreesanth nuts with three gorgeous drives before square-driving and pulling RP Singh to the boundary. Bringing in Harbhajan Singh in bowling action New Zealand batsmen are tied up and fall some quick wickets. But later from 16th over(Yuvraj 25 runs from that over) of NZ innings Craig McMillan and Jacob Oram effected some violent late-order hitting to take the total to a healthy 190 but it almost proved inadequate against the openers of Indians.

In Indian innings they start with fly and reach 76 in seventh over. And then they lose their first wicket of Virender Sehwag who hit some massive stroke to made 40 of just spending 17 balls. After that Vettori varied his flight and pace cleverly to choke the run-flow, increase the pressure and eventually lure the batsmen to their demise. Vettori prised two wickets in the 17th over to effectively seal the game. Mainly after losing the Gambhir wickets India lost their way to win. Again Yuvraj Singh the stroke maker of India fail to meet teems requirements with an awful mix-up between Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Dinesh Karthik found Dhoni short of the crease shortly after depart of yuvraj which makes the game in favour of NZ.

After all the match was so exciting to dance till the end.
