Taking out openers early was massive: Munro

Sports

Rajkot: Centurion Colin Munro said dismissing the in-form India openers early was "massive" and credited their "outstanding" bowling attack for New Zealand's 40-run win in the second T20 International here.

Left-arm pace bowler Trent Boult sent back openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma in the second over to leave the hosts struggling at 11-2, chasing an imposing score of 196-2, built mainly on Munro's belligerent knock of 109 not out that contained 7 sixes and as many fours.
