The Black Caps bowlers have copped a hammering on route to a thumping seven-wicket win loss in the second T20 cricket international against India. 

The boundary was consistently peppered and cleared as the hosts cruised to a target of 209 with almost five overs to spare. 

Mitch Santner top scored for the Black Caps with a solid knock 47 off 27, while Ish Sodhi was the pick of the bowlers 34/1 off 3 overs. 

Tim Seifert played in the match today and joined D'Arcy to break it down.
