India crashed to their worst T20I defeat as an aggressive 84 by Tim Seifert guided New Zealand to an 80-run win Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Wednesday.
Seifert and Colin Munro blazed away at the top of the innings with an 86-run partnership off 50 deliveries as New Zealand posted their third-highest T20I total of 219.
India were all-out in reply for 139 with four balls remaining, in only the eighth time they have failed to bat through a 20-over innings.
Their previous worst defeat was by 49 runs against Australia at Bridgetown in 2010.
The second T20I of the three-match series will be played in Auckland on Friday (February 8). India won the preceding ODI series 4-1.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the match:

First time India conceded 200+ total in T20Is in 2.5 years.
Pakistan is now the only team not to have conceded 200+ total in this period among the full member teams. #NZvInd
