India's Iyer calls for adaptation after 87-run defeat at Eden Park
India captain Shreyas Iyer said the team must adapt to Eden Park’s unusual dimensions and conditions after the side suffered an 87-run defeat to New Zealand at the venue, Cricbuzz reported. Earlier in the five-match series, India had taken a 3-0 lead with a six-wicket victory, highlighted by Abhishek Sharma’s rapid 113 and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 45, according to NDTV Sports.
Ahead of the second T20, India reshuffled its batting order, bringing Ishan Kishan and Mayank Yadav into the side while New Zealand introduced Nathan Smith for Kyle Jamieson, Cricinfo said. New Zealand then posted a record T20I total of 259/7, powered by Glenn Phillips’s century and Michael Bracewell’s quick half-century, securing the 87-run win, Cricbuzz noted.
