India beat New Zealand in the second T20I, sealing a four-wicket victory driven by Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 51 as the chase reaches 181 with a ball to spare. India take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, with Nitish Kumar Reddy also contributing to help finish the game on a tense, last-delivery finish.

Across reports, Varma is consistently portrayed as the key stabiliser and finisher in the middle order after India slip to 112/6 during the chase. New Zealand’s bowling is also common ground: Mitchell Santner’s spell of 4-21 leaves India under pressure, but India’s response ultimately completes the successful chase in 19.5 overs (as described by one outlet) with the final result clinched after close margins.
