New Zealand have suffered a seven-wicket thrashing in Raipur - falling to a two-nil deficit in their five matches series against India leading into the T20 World Cup.

India belted 21 fours and 11 sixes to canter to their target of 209 with almost five overs to spare.

Black Caps batter Rachin Ravindra's been asked if they thought their 208 for six was enough.

Game is Monday morning in Guwahati .
