Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed for a mere single by spinner Nathan McCullum, after being trapped leg before, in the ongoing ICC World T20 2016, during Super 10 Group 2, Match 13 at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium in Nagpur on Tuesday. It was a stright delivery from McCullum, as Dhawan looked to play towards leg and went for a sweep, with the ball clearly hitting the pads, and the umpire raising the finger for the decision of Out. Currently, India are six for the loss of a wicket in one over, with opener Rohit Sharma on four and Virat Kohli on one.

Earlier, New Zealand skipper, Kane Williamson won the otss and elected to bat first, as they finished on a below par total of 126 for the loss of seven wickets. India and New Zealand will battle it out in Match 13 of ICC World T20 2016 at Nagpur. This is a Group 2 match, and the first encounter of the Super-10s. India are the favourites going into the tournament, but New Zealand can take immense confidence from the fact that India have never beaten them in a Twenty20 International (T20I). India will be aware of this fact as well, and will doubtless look to remedy that. New Zealand are without Brendon McCullum though, someone who has traditionally done well against India.

Regardless of what happens in the match, one can expect a high-octane encounter to kick off the Super-10s. India start the match as favourites, but New Zealand are likely to be close contenders. These two teams could be the semi-finalists from Group 2, which makes this a potential precursor to the ICC World T20 2016 final.
