After tormenting India one more time, left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner said his role in T20Is is to bowl defensively, build pressure and take wickets. He added that it was satisfying to see the strategy pay rich dividends in the fourth T20I here.

India came across a familiar foe in Santner as the New Zealand skipper bowled a brilliant spell of 4-0-26-3 to lead his side to a 50-run win at the ACA-VDCA stadium.
