Spinners Ish Sodhi and Michael Bracewell took one wicket each, while Indian batsmen Ishan Kishan and Washington Sundar were both run out.
New Zealand had posted a strong score of 176 in the first game on Friday but were unable to replicate it on a pitch that offered plenty of turn and India’s bowlers kept them under pressure throughout the innings.
Five Indian bowlers took a wicket before Arshdeep Singh dismissed Sodhi and Lockie Ferguson.
The third and last T20 of the series will be held in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
