NEW DELHI: Suryakumar Yadav (26 not out) and Hardik Pandya (15 not out) used all their experience to help India edged New Zealand by six wickets in a last-over thriller at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday. The duo held their nerves in the low-scoring contest as India levelled the three-match series 1-1 with a scrappy victory in the second Twenty20 International.
Chasing a small target of 100, India were left to score six off the last over to win the game, which turned to three off two balls. Suryakumar then slapped the penultimate ball over mid-off fielder to score his only boundary of the run chase and took the hosts home with a ball to spare.
