"Southee is the best option to bowl in the super over. pretty inexperienced bowling unit. Tim is an experienced bowler, he knows what is he doing, he actually wants bowl in hand. It is not an easy role to come and bowl especially when we ended with 12 or 13 middle-range super Over and he is bowling to probably to the two best T20 batters in the world, "Munro said at the post-match press conference.

"We have been playing some good cricket India just being 1-2 per cent better than us," Munro said.
The 32-year-old said that New Zealand started the chase well but lost our composure at the end due to pressure.
"We knew what targets we need to head at certain stages of our innings, I thought we did that pretty well and then again we were put under pressure towards the end, " he said.
