5 Most Embarrassing Defeats for India in T20Is

#2 India vs New Zealand, World T20 Group Game, Nagpur, 15 March 2016

India crumbled under the pressure created by the Kiwi spinners

After New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat, Indian bowlers did well to restrict the visitors to 126/7 on a pitch that was making the batsmen work hard for their runs. Though the target wasn't massive, India knew that getting there was never going to be easy. But even the most pessimistic of the lot wouldn't have thought that the side would be bowled out for the lowest total in a T20I at home.

While India's bowling department kept the scoring rate down, each of the bowlers who bowled more than an over only picked up a single wicket apiece. New Zealand's spin trio of Nathan McCullum, Mitchell Santner and, Ish Sodhi finished with figures of 11-0-44-9.

The visiting spinners were head and shoulders above the bowling of the hosts and they were also helped by some careless batting. Only three batsmen scored over 5 runs as wickets just kept tumbling at an incredible rate.

Eventually, India were bowled out for their second-lowest T20I total and the lowest by any team in India. Chasing 127 for victory, the hosts lost by 47 runs as they unraveled under the web spun by the Kiwi spinners.

Brief scores: New Zealand 126/7 in 20 overs (Corey Anderson 34, Jasprit Bumrah 1/15) beat India 79 all out in 18.1 overs (MS Dhoni 30, Mitchell Santner 4/11)
