New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson rued his team's poor bowling effort for the loss to India in the opening clash of the three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series here on Wednesday. India dominated all departments of the game, putting together a massive total of 202/3 before restricting the visitors to 149/8. "It was a disappointing performance tonight. We were very poor on the field. India played superbly. There are no excuses. We needed to play better. India were outstanding and never gave us a sniff," Williamson said after the match.
