NZ vs Ind: India's Super Over win vs New Zealand is winning the internet

New Zealand won the toss at Seddon Park and elected to field. Rohit Sharma came all guns blazing and scored a magnificent 65. It included a mind-blogging 26-run over off Hamish Bennett. Bennett had the last laugh though, bagging Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shivam Dube to restrict India to 179/5 in their 20 overs. New Zealand, chasing 180 to stay alive in the series, lost both their openers - Martin Guptill and Colin Munro - cheaply. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson took charge and almost guided his team to the finish line.
