New Zealand have been restricted to 99 runs, thanks to the dominating bowling by the men in blue.
The innings was dominated by the spinners of team India, with Hardik Pandya and Arshdeep Singh adding an extra pressure on the visitors.
None of the Kiwi batsman have been able to score more than 19 runs.
Hardik Pandya did not consider to give Arshdeep Singh and Shivam Mavi a preferred opportunity as the visitors looked a bit underprepared against the spinners.
Chahal, Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Deepak Hooda were the four main spinners to take quick wickets.
India now needs only 100 runs to make an epic comeback in the series and if they win this do or die clash, the final T20I will still have a significant hope for a golden conclusion.
