India Beat New Zealand by 4 Wickets to Take 2-0 Series Lead

India chased down 181 to beat New Zealand by four wickets in the second T20I at Hagley Oval, Christchurch, and take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

New Zealand had posted 180 for 5, built on Glenn Phillips' 70 off 43 balls and Bevon Jacobs' 58 off 46, but India finished the job on 181 for 6 with one ball to spare.

Mitchell Santner took four wickets for 21 runs for the hosts, yet India held their nerve in the closing overs.

The third T20I will be played in Wellington on Tuesday.
