India skipper Virat Kohli took his teammates to task for not being brave enough in defending their paltry total of 110/7 against New Zealand in the ICC Men`s T20 World Cup at the Dubai Cricket Stadium here on Sunday.

India batted poorly, lost wickets early, and never recovered as they could manage only a meagre 110 after being asked to bat first by New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson. They could not claim early wickets as Daryl Mitchell (49 off 35 balls) and Kane Williamson (33 not out off 31 balls) led New Zealand to an eight-wicket victory on Sunday.
