ICC World T20 2016 Results: Tuesday's Super 10 Score, Updated Tables, Schedule

Matt JonesMar 15, 2016

New Zealand spoiled the host nation's party in the first Super 10 match of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 on Tuesday, as India suffered a shock 47-run loss in Nagpur.  

The Black Caps were restricted to 126 for seven on a testing wicket, with Corey Anderson the top scorer with 34. Despite the surface, it was a target which looked below par, but it proved too much for India, who lost wickets with alarming frequency and eventually collapsed to 79 all out.

Here are the tables in full for this year’s tournament, the full fixture list for the competition and a thorough recap of how the action panned out on what was an absorbing day.

Tuesday Recap

New Zealand, 126 for 7 (20.0 overs, Anderson 34, Bumrah one for 15) beat India, 79 all out (18.1 overs, Dhoni 30, Santner four for 11) by 47 runs.

After winning the toss, there was an obvious intent in New Zealand early on at the crease, with Martin Guptill hammering the first ball of the match for six. Remarkably, that’d be the opener’s only contribution, as he was snaffled on the next ball by Ravichandran Ashwin.

It was an ideal start for the hosts, and it was evident from some of the spinner’s deliveries that batting was going to be tough. When Colin Munro went for a six and then got out in the next over, at 13 for two, a change in tactic was needed.

Kane Williamson sought to implement that, but he failed to find rhythm at the crease, making just eight from 16 balls before he grew frustrated and was stumped off the bowling of Ashish Nehra.

As we can see here, courtesy of Sky Sports Cricket, Williamson, one of the finest players in world cricket, was well out of his ground, and the Black Caps were in trouble:

Anderson, usually a bullish big hitter, was the man who oversaw an astute rebuilding job. Both Ross Taylor (10) and Mitchell Santner (18) fell for disappointing scores while he was at the crease, but Anderson kept composed and kept the scoreboard ticking over in these tough conditions, making 34 from a pedestrian 42 balls.

An intelligent innings from Anderson helped the Black Caps to a respectable total.

Still, when he departed, New Zealand at least had a platform of sorts at 89 for five with just over four overs remaining. While Grant Elliott fell for just nine, an unbeaten 21 from 15 balls from Luke Ronchi gave the visitors some positive momentum, as did an impressive 15 runs from the final over.

At the interval in the first match of the Super 10 stage, with New Zealand sat on 126 for seven, iconic West Indies batsman Brian Lara commented that he was not happy with the pitch:

A star-studded India batting lineup also had problems in the nascent stages of their chase. Indeed, two wickets apiece from Nathan McCullum and Santner in the opening five overs stunned the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium into silence.

Rohit Sharma (5), Shikhar Dhawan (1), Suresh Raina (1) and Yuvraj Singh (4) had all gone cheaply, and on 26 for four, India were rocking. As cricket statistician Mohandas Menon noted at this point, India have never had such a poor start to a T20 match on home soil before:

Virat Kohli was still there, though, and he was operating with a composure scarcely seen from his team-mates, moving onto 23. But he was unable to push from there, as the excellent Santner had him caught from behind.

Indeed, while much will be made of the manner in which India crumbled under pressure here, the New Zealand left-arm spinner deserves immense credit for the frequency with which he troubled the India batsmen, with Hardik Pandya also falling to his wizardry. 

As ESPNcricinfo noted, it was a stunning start to Santner's spell, with three wickets taken in the space of 10 balls:

With Ravindra Jadeja falling not long after, the hosts were in huge trouble at 43 for seven. From there, MS Dhoni and Ashwin slowed things and sought to see India through the entire 20 overs. But with the run rate required rising rapidly in the latter stages, they were always going to fall short.

Dhoni was eventually dismissed for a run-a-ball 30, and while his big hitting did give the home fans something to cheer before heading home, India will be massively disappointed with their score of 79 all out in 18.1 overs. Santner eventually finished with four wickets for 11 runs, while Ish Sodhi also shone with three for 18.

India may still be the favourites to progress, although this loss heaps a lot of pressure on them in the matches to come against tricky opponents, including the formidable Australia, great rivals Pakistan and an improving Bangladesh team. New Zealand, meanwhile, will be delighted by the manner in which they defended a mediocre total with some savvy bowling and fine fielding.
