4th T20I: Santner Takes Three As NZ Beat India By 50 Runs Despite Dube’s 65
Skipper Mitchell Santner: Skipper Mitchell Santner claimed three wickets as New Zealand defeated India by 50 runs in the fourth T20I at the ACA-VDCA Stadium on Wednesday, despite a blistering 65 from Shivam Dube.
After posting 215/7, New Zealand left India, effecting a batter short due to Ishan Kishan’s niggle-enforced absence, struggling at 82/5. Dube then launched a stunning counter-attack, smashing a 15-ball fifty and eventually made 65 off 23 balls – his career-best score in T20Is laced with seven sixes and three fours.
But his dismissal – run out at non-striker’s end off a bowler’s deflection - ended India’s hopes, as they were bowled out for 165 in 18.4 overs. Apart from Santner, New Zealand’s bowlers maintained their control to secure their first win of the series, and offer themselves a timely boost ahead of the Men’s T20 World Cup, despite a mid-innings collapse and Dube’s late assault.
