AUCKLAND - Half-centuries from Lokesh Rahul and Shreyas Iyer led India to a six-wicket victory over New Zealand in the opening Twenty20 match in Auckland Friday with the winning runs coming with an over to spare.
When India started their run chase, New Zealand took the bold option of throwing the new ball to spinner Mitchell Santner for the second over and after conceding 12 off his first three deliveries the left-armer claimed the wicket of Rohit Sharma for seven.At 59 for one in the sixth over New Zealand butchered a double chance to remove Rahul on 27 when he was slow away on a quick single.
Kohli on 33 skied a Blair Tickner delivery in the ninth over which Ish Sodhi had plenty of time to get under, but he missed the ball completely.

Does she even look at the racial statistics of expats? It's not such a white stream anymore. 50 murders a day is worse than most warzones. It's not not a racial thing, unless she wants to suggest that whites have a special duty to remain and endure. Its not hard to use the google machine to get info on her parents. Born to mixed parents in Swaziland.... I dont think her parents payed tax under apartheid. Strange turn for her
