India beats New Zealand by 4 wickets with record T20 run chase
Sanju Samson’s whirlwind innings of 67 from 33 balls has set up a record run chase in which India beat New Zealand by four wickets in Christchurch in the first of five Twenty20s. Samson shared an opening partnership of 93 in just 5.5 overs with Abhishek Sharma. That allowed India to surpass New Zealand’s 225-5 with two balls remaining at Hagley Oval. India’s total of 230-6 topped its previous best T20 run chase of 211 against Sri Lanka in 2009.
Glenn Phillips scored an unbeaten 82 from 40 balls for New Zealand. Samson posted his eighth score of 50 or more in 26 T20 innings this year.
