NZ is not at all a strong team specially on subcontinent wickets .
That day they were lucky to beat team India as we played exceptionally bad , otherwise 126 was not at all a big target . Even minnows like BAN / AFGAN / IRELAND / SCOTLAND would have chased that .
Now NZ cannot beat AUS or even may be PAK , everyday is not a SUNDAY .

NZ is not a bad team at all. They too have good players, at the same time our over confidence and lack of application were the main reasons for India's defeat. Come Pak, we will rediscover our winning habits

win of NZ over Oz has shown that there some serious problem in your ideology and understanding of cricket

NZ can not beat AUS ?
For your information they had
already beaten them.
Now what you have to say Madam ?
There is no such thing as STRONG &
WEAK TEAM IN T-20.
It's all comes down to UTILISING YOUR AVAILABLE RESOURCES ( BOWLERS, BATSMANS) SMARTLY & TIMELY.
NZ done that quite fantastically.
Their selection was spot on.
A lot of credit goes to their
captain & coach.
They have selected Mitchell Maclanaghan in place of Nathan Macculam in todays game.
And he has given them match winning performance, he was the man of the match.
NEW ZEALAND ARE CERTAINLY NOT THE STRONGEST TEAM BUT THEY ARE CERTAINLY A SMART & INTELLIGENT TEAM THAN OTHERS AT THE MOMENT AND YOU MUST APPRECIATE THAT.
ONLY BEING STRONG ON RECORDS & PAPER IS NOT ENOUGH YOU HAVE TO BE SMART IN YOUR GAME PLAN, SELECTION, APPLICATION, & APPROACH TOWARDS GAME. AND INDIAN TEAM LACKED THAT SIGNIFICANTLY.
