5th T20I: Kishan’s Ton, Arshdeep’s Five-for Help India Beat NZ By 46 Runs, Win Series 4-1 (Ld)
Greenfield International Stadium: Ishan Kishan’s blistering maiden T20I century and Arshdeep Singh’s second five-wicket haul in the format powered India to a 46-run victory over New Zealand in the fifth T20I at the Greenfield International Stadium on Saturday and seal the series 4-1.
India, returning to full strength after their setback in Visakhapatnam, posted 271/5 – their third-highest total in the format. Kishan smashed 103 off 43 balls, laced with six fours and ten sixes, while captain Suryakumar Yadav added 63 in a 137-run stand that dismantled New Zealand’s attack.
Hardik Pandya chipped in with a late cameo of 42 off 17 balls as India struck 23 sixes, equalling their record for most maximums hit in a T20I innings. New Zealand’s chase was given early impetus by Finn Allen, who hammered 80 off 38 balls in his return to the side. But his dismissal stalled their momentum as New Zealand were eventually bowled out for 225 in 19.4 overs.
