5th T20I: Arshdeep Picks Five-for As India Beat New Zealand By 46 Runs, Win Series 4-1
Greenfield International Stadium: Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh claimed his second five-wicket haul in T20Is as India defeated New Zealand by 46 runs in the fifth match to seal the series 4-1 at the Greenfield International Stadium on Saturday.
India, who opted to bat first, posted a formidable 271/5 with Ishan Kishan smashing a breath-taking 42-ball maiden T20I century and captain Suryakumar Yadav contributing a fine 63. Hardik Pandya added late fireworks with 42 off 17 balls as India recorded their third-highest total in the format.
New Zealand’s chase was powered by a returning Finn Allen, who struck 80 off 38 balls in a blistering start, but his dismissal triggered a collapse. Despite reaching 225, the visitors were bowled out for 225 in 19.4 overs. Arshdeep, who conceded 40 runs in his first two overs, returned strongly to finish with figures of 5-51, and supported by spinners Axar Patel (3-33) and Varun Chakaravarthy (1-36).
