New Delhi: As India and New Zealand took on each other in the first of the three T20 international matches on Wednesday, there was a lot to look forward to. It was Ashish Nehra’s last match. It also happened to be Shreyas Iyer’s first match. And before the result of the game, India were still chasing their first-ever T20 win against New Zealand.

India went on the win the match by 53 runs. While Iyer did not get a chance to bat, Nehra did not pick any wickets. But Nehra bowled tidily enough to have figures of none for 29 in his four overs.

The next match between the two teams will be played in Rajkot on Saturday. India had earlier won the ODI series 2-1. While we may not have the emotion of the first game going ahead in the series, a couple of wins will give India crucial points on the ICC rankings table. (Pictures courtesy: BCCI)
