DUBAI (Reuters) – New Zealand revived their Twenty20 World Cup marketing campaign with a cushty eight-wicket win over India, who succumbed to their second successive defeat of the match on Sunday.

Put in to bat, India’s rejigged high order wilted very quickly and the 2007 champions crawled to 110-7 in 20 overs within the Tremendous 12 match.

Trent Boult took 3-20 and Ish Sodhi returned 2-17 in New Zealand’s disciplined bowling show though they spilled a few catches.

Daryl Mitchell made a fluent 49 and skipper Kane Williamson remained not out on 33 as New Zealand triumphed with 33 balls to spare to bounce again from the defeat by Pakistan of their match opener.
