A bad over and the game is over. This is the rule of Twenty20 matches and India faced the same in the first Twenty20 match against New Zealand. The reasons behind the defeat of Team India as explained by skipper Dhoni is the failure of the batsman, and it was true that no one except Raina tried to spend a bit of time on the center. It was Raina who kept his cool and stayed till the end and only because of him Team India reached to a respectable total.
When Team India won the World Cup, that time Dhoni had fixed the strategy of at least making a big partnership, but Team India failed to use the same during the last match. When Bhajji made the partnership with Raina that time the match has almost slipped from the hand of Team India. Almost all the Indian batsman were thinking of making good use of the small ground, but almost all of them failed to capitalize the good start provided by Sehwag. Sehwag and Gambhir made 19 runs in the very first over of the match.
So now as the second Twenty20 match was scheduled between India and New Zealand today at 11:30 AM IST, at Wellington, and Kiwis are not at all looking to slip the winning position. They have a few great batsman like Guptill, McCullam, Oram etc. who can easily change the match within one or two overs. Also they has the bowlers like Vettori and Ryder who can deliver less than 4 runs each over and took some wickets at the crucial time too.
On the other hand Team India has the likes of Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj, Dhoni and Pathan brothers who all are due for a big inning in the series so far, and they all are capable of changing the direction of the match.
Despite the brilliant bowling start by Zaheer and Ishant, and the superb bowling by Bhajji too Team India lost the match, and the reason behind this was a bit of failure of the other bowlers also. Indian team require some quality bowling at the time, Irfan Pathan messed up the line and length in the last match and he need to deliver the perfect things this time.
Let’s see which team can be able to win the second Twenty20. Watch the live score of the second T20 match between India and New Zealand by clicking here.
