Another Super Over…Another win for India or if we put it in other words, another defeat for New Zealand. The Blackcaps’ woes in the Super Over are not ending and they suffered another loss on Friday against India in Wellington.
The New Zealand batsmen choked in a pressure situation after failing to go over the line and then the hosts failed to defend the target in the Super Over.

India after being put into bat scored 165/8 in 20 overs, courtesy a 50* from Manish Pandey. Later, the visitors rode on some good fielding and tight bowling to restrict New Zealand to 165/7 in 20 overs.
The match then went into the Super Over where New Zealand scored 13 in 6 balls. India had a blistering start to this chase as KL Rahul gathered 10 runs off the first couple of deliveries but got out on the third trying to clear the rope at deep mid-wicket area.
Lovely chaps the Kiwis but they are not very good at Super overs … !!! #NZvIND

But some smart work from skipper Virat Kohli saw India home and got them a 4-0 lead in the series.
Can we now definitively say @klrahul11 is keeping wickets in the T20 World Cup? I think we can with certainty. He bats brilliant, keeps decent, runs people out and gives options. Game set match.
