India won the first Twenty20 cricket match against New Zealand, according to BBC Cricket, completing their chase on 230–6 to take a 1–0 series lead. India scored 230 runs with six batters dismissed in 19.4 overs—19 overs and four balls.
Earlier in the match, New Zealand were 110–2 after 11 overs. That was an in-play score, not their completed innings total.
India reached 93 before losing their first batter, but four had been dismissed by the time the score reached 122 after 10.3 overs. Sanju Samson made 67 from 33 balls before Mitch Santner bowled him, hitting the wicket to dismiss him.

Captain Shreyas Iyer was India’s sixth batter dismissed, leaving the team on 210 after 18.1 overs. Naman Dhir remained unbeaten, scoring from every ball he faced and hitting five fours and two sixes. India added the remaining 20 runs without another dismissal to finish with two balls left, taking the lead into the rest of the series.
The 16-year-old was sent off at Fleetwood in his second start of the season, leaving Arsenal short of wing options before Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.
