The Indian cricket team has won the five-match T20 series against New Zealand. Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav, who arrived in Guwahati after two consecutive victories, won the toss and decided to bowl. Jasprit Bumrah’s deadly bowling limited New Zealand to 153 runs. Chasing the target, India won the match in just 10 overs thanks to Abhishek Sharma’s explosive batting to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series.
After losing two consecutive matches against India, New Zealand were in a do-or-die match. Forced to bat first after losing the toss, Harshit Rana struck in the first over. Hardik Pandya’s brilliant catch gave India a strong start. After losing his first wicket for 2 runs, Hardik came in and bowled the next over to shock New Zealand. At 112 runs, the team had lost five wickets. Glenn Phillips steadied the innings with a 48-run partnership, but he too was dismissed by Ravi Bishnoi. New Zealand could only reach the score of 153 runs for 9 wickets.
Indian opener Abhishek Sharma once again showed why bowlers fear him. He scored a half-century off just 14 balls against New Zealand. This innings helped Team India score 94 runs in the power play, which is India’s highest score in 6 overs in T20Is. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav came in and supported his young opener, and India went on to win in style, taking an unassailable lead in the series.
