00:11Hello and welcome to the highlights of the final match of the five-match T20i series between New Zealand and
00:16India.
00:17Captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and decided to bowl first.
00:21Let's have a look at the playing 11 for both sides.
00:24India make two changes.
00:25Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Parun Chakravarti come in for Mayank Yadav and Aksa Patel.
00:30Nitesh Kumar Reddy and Namandeer further strengthened the side.
00:33Ashdeep Singh and Prince Yadav completed the bowling attack.
00:37New Zealand made one change with Glenn Dickner coming in for Matthew Fisher.
00:41Tim Seifert and Finn Allen opened the innings for New Zealand with Darrell Mitchell and Glenn Phillips adding strength to
00:46the batting order.
00:48Just a little something that Abhishek Sharma does every time.
00:52Sanjay Sampson will generally take the first ball of the innings when they've opened together.
00:56But Abhishek always walks down with him, makes sure he just gets a little feel, taps his bat over the
01:01line at the striker's end and then wanders back to his position.
01:06Jacob Duffy, who bounced back beautifully at Eden Park in Auckland.
01:11And first ball on the fifth and final at T20 International between these two sides.
01:20The plan A, plan B in place because Adam Milne straight up, it's high into the night sky.
01:29New Zealand's catching has been difficult but Mitchell does not miss.
01:33Milne strikes, Abhishek goes early.
01:36They've got the man, he likes to hit the big one, first or second ball.
01:41The length was good this time, he gets it on the toe of the bat.
01:44So an early blow for India, the dangerous in form Abhishek Sharma has to depart, two for one.
01:52Oh, beauty, absolute beauty.
01:55Seifert, a little bit excited but nothing on it.
01:59Oh, a lot of same movement there.
02:02An early eye-opener for Ishan Kishin.
02:05That squared him up.
02:08Shot wide and punished.
02:10First of the evening and the first of many.
02:13This one off the bat of Ishan Kishin.
02:16The opportunity to free the arms, my word, he took it.
02:23It's gone fine, it'll go for four as well.
02:25Just a little flick of the wrists.
02:29A little bit of shape again away from Sampson and a swing and a miss.
02:35It's gone straight up.
02:38Bracewell, good hands.
02:40Oh, they've been good already tonight.
02:41That's a very good catch.
02:43And back over his head, Milne's got two.
02:46Not comfortable again.
02:47Leg stump staying on the leg side, looking to work it on the onside.
02:52With this kind of movement, you're bound to get the leading edge.
02:55So two good catches by New Zealand.
02:58Both the openers now back in the dugout.
03:0019 for two.
03:03Flicked away and that will go all the way.
03:05A chance in the crowd, in the deep.
03:08Put down, bouncing.
03:09Yes, sir, you've got it.
03:14Punished on the up as well.
03:16Down the ground for four.
03:20Timing again.
03:23Classical Tresire.
03:27And up and over the offside as well.
03:30Welcome to the series.
03:32The player ticker all the way for six.
03:36Oh, that's in the slot.
03:39Is that out?
03:40Brilliant from Finn Allen.
03:42Are those feet in play?
03:44That's the big question.
03:45Very good catch.
03:46New Zealand have been on in the field.
03:49Yeah, yeah.
03:50Freeze it there.
03:50Thanks.
03:51Ball's still in the hand there.
03:52I've got foot on the ground on the left-hand side.
03:55Ball's still in the hand of the fielder.
03:57So I'm ready to make my decision.
03:59Big screen.
03:59Thanks.
04:01That's a good decision.
04:04Just touching the ground.
04:06Well, it's the big toe.
04:07The ball of the foot.
04:10Very good work, though, from Finn Allen.
04:15On the back foot.
04:17Has that gone all the way out of the ground?
04:20That is massive.
04:22It sounded good, Scotty.
04:23I was with you, though.
04:24I thought it was going, going, gone.
04:26It just went so high.
04:28Oh, is that someone's head?
04:33Power.
04:35Helicopter stroke from Ishan Kishan.
04:37Brilliant.
04:38They've got another boundary early in and over.
04:40How many of these kids grew up watching Amy Stoney
04:42and do this year after year?
04:48That is another out of the middle of the band.
04:50That is brilliant.
04:5250 up as well, Ishan Kishan.
04:54Stunning innings.
04:57Yeah, that was right out of the middle.
04:59Gone a long way back.
05:03Another one.
05:04In the arc and out of the ground.
05:07Massive.
05:12Three in a row.
05:13This time it's out of the ground once more.
05:15And that will be the 100 for India.
05:19It's brilliant awareness and manipulation as well from Trey Asaya.
05:23Straight down the ground over our camera gantry.
05:26Whips one through mid-wicket.
05:28Race will go wide.
05:29So he goes wide over long off.
05:32It's one time.
05:33One time.
05:34One time.
05:34Too many.
05:35And it goes down.
05:37And Kekner.
05:39Crucial moment of this innings.
05:43New Zealand's so good in the field this far, but not on this occasion.
05:50Yes is the answer.
05:56Daryl Mitchell does not move.
05:58Just watches it sail over his head.
06:03Now, an opportunity here.
06:06That's taken.
06:08So Tickner makes amends.
06:10Gets his man.
06:11And the dangerous Ishan Kishin.
06:1461 from 31.
06:16Has to depart straight away after the break.
06:20Fantastic knock for Ishan Kishin.
06:2261 of 32.
06:24And India now 112 for three.
06:29Easy pickings.
06:31Brings up his half century.
06:33Coming at the right time for India.
06:3550 of 22.
06:37Three boundaries.
06:38Four sixes for the skipper.
06:43That's up in the air.
06:45And another dismissal now.
06:47This is a double blow for India.
06:52Chipped in the air.
06:53And a brilliant catch.
06:56Finn Allen making no mistake this time.
07:01So more like what we're used to from New Zealand.
07:05And the head pace because it was over the line.
07:09Here's the 1%.
07:10New Zealand have just been coming up short with Nathan Smith refusing to accept it.
07:17Hard of a feeling.
07:18There won't be much in it.
07:21Now that can be heartbreaking.
07:23We picked up two important wickets.
07:25Know how important Tilak Varma is.
07:29And a sigh of relief for him.
07:38Just a single.
07:44Oh, doesn't make a mistake this time.
07:46He's telling the Empire.
07:47Is that a legal delivery or not?
07:49He says yes.
07:54Up and over the offside.
07:55But no timing.
07:57And then put down.
08:00Adam Milne.
08:02Well, according to our numbers, I think that's number 15 of the series.
08:07From New Zealand's point of view.
08:0915th dropped catch.
08:10It was just too casual.
08:11Could have taken another step.
08:14Either reverse cup if he wanted to.
08:16Or just pouched it in towards his chest.
08:18It just all appeared a little too casual.
08:24And then that happens.
08:26Through extra cover for four.
08:32Daryl Mitchell this time at long on.
08:35He misfields it as well.
08:36Goes one-handed.
08:40In the gap.
08:41And will run away for four.
08:46Not perfectly timed.
08:49But well enough to go all the way for six.
08:54Straight up.
08:56But uses the pace.
08:59Out of the ground.
09:01I think it's too high to be a no ball.
09:04It's certainly not.
09:05He just gets a big leading edge on it.
09:08Flies away.
09:14Another opportunity for the Black Caps.
09:17But Michael Bracewell's got huge hands.
09:19And the safest opportunity for a wicket.
09:23The knuckleball again.
09:25And delivered very well again.
09:27A tough delivery to bowl.
09:29But the deception was there again.
09:31And this time, Michael Bracewell
09:33takes another good catch.
09:36A celebration of note.
09:39India now 179 for six.
09:44Bit of luck.
09:46Exactly what India needed though.
09:47They'll take it.
09:51Picked up through the left side.
09:53No timing.
09:54Another chance for New Zealand.
09:59Oh, it's nicely bowled.
10:01But even better was the placement.
10:04Use the angle, the pace to beat short finally.
10:09Another one on the inside, half of the back.
10:13And Daryl Mitchell, who's spent all night at long on,
10:16with the safe hands.
10:18Milne with another.
10:20Being superb from him tonight.
10:24His fourth four-wicket haul or more
10:27in a T20 international.
10:30And he's got one ball
10:31to try and get a five foot.
10:36No.
10:37But brilliantly executed.
10:39It will just be a single.
10:41And India will finish their innings
10:43at 191 for eight.
10:46Well, high quality performance.
10:48Wickets up front.
10:49Wickets at the back.
10:50India had some good moments
10:52through the middle with the bat.
10:54But New Zealand will be pretty happy
10:56with that 192 to chase down.
11:00These are familiar surroundings for him, though.
11:02But the ball certainly swung
11:03for the opening New Zealand bowlers.
11:05I expect with the skills
11:06Bhuvaneshwar Kumar has
11:07that his ability to swing the ball,
11:10the same should happen.
11:11Interestingly as well,
11:13Shreyasaya was happy to bat first.
11:14So not worrying about the due.
11:16I think both the Indian bowlers
11:19should get swing.
11:20Ashtip Singh as well as Bhuvaneshwar Kumar.
11:22All right, first ball of the chase.
11:32Inside edge.
11:33A little race away for four.
11:34Bit of swing there.
11:35Back into the right-hander.
11:39Unlike Fennellen,
11:40who's just skied one
11:41straight up in the air.
11:42This is very difficult.
11:43Incredibly.
11:45Here.
11:46Oh, holds onto it, though.
11:47Ishan Kishin.
11:48Now, this is excellent judgment.
11:50There were three fielders
11:52going in that direction.
11:54There's Finlec.
11:54There was Sanju Sampson.
11:57And now Finn Allen has done
11:59what Tim Seifert did
12:00in the last few games.
12:02Beautifully judged.
12:04Finn Allen has to depart for two.
12:06Nine for one.
12:09Edged.
12:10Finds the gap.
12:11Good fortune going the way
12:13of New Zealand
12:13of New Zealand
12:13on that occasion.
12:16Because this time
12:17there is a man back there,
12:18though.
12:19It'll bring about another wicket.
12:19No!
12:20Put down.
12:23And once again,
12:24Ashtip would have got
12:25the side foot
12:26in a similar manner.
12:28It just looks like
12:29a similar plan,
12:30isn't it,
12:30from India,
12:31and particularly Ashtip.
12:34That's the way.
12:35Just maybe held his shape
12:37a touch better
12:38on that occasion.
12:39Stayed a bit taller.
12:40Punches it down the ground
12:41for six.
12:42Yeah, took the words
12:43right out of my mouth.
12:44Great shape.
12:45Genuine cricket shot.
12:49Mitchell goes over mid-wicket
12:50and goes all the way
12:51for six.
12:52He's bludgeoned that,
12:54really.
12:55Hit extremely hard.
12:59That's up
13:00and up
13:01and away.
13:02A little bit further
13:03and taken.
13:04Brilliant!
13:05Brilliant!
13:07What a catch
13:08by Pardy.
13:12Little crocodile hands,
13:13but hey,
13:14it's stuck.
13:15And there he wants
13:16the crowd to rise.
13:18This is not for
13:19Bale Bale,
13:20but come on,
13:20stand up and clap.
13:24Should clear
13:25the infield.
13:31Oh, that's
13:32hard and long.
13:38And again,
13:40the result the same.
13:41He's peppering
13:43that side screen.
13:44He's got to watch.
13:46The cameraman
13:46there's to watch.
13:47He's in the firing line.
13:51And sliced away.
13:53One bounce
13:54over the ropes.
13:59Oh, that's a good hit.
14:00Very good hit.
14:01Good use of the feet
14:02and again
14:03going in the right direction.
14:06Over mid-on.
14:08Very quick
14:08footwork there.
14:12Oh, terrific
14:14shot this.
14:15Wow.
14:20That's like an opportunity.
14:23Now, did that bounce?
14:26Well, he's claiming it.
14:29Coming in now.
14:35Take it in there.
14:36Fingers around the ball.
14:37Roll that through.
14:37Roll that through for me.
14:38Thanks.
14:40Fingers remain around the ball.
14:41Fingers remain around the ball.
14:48Yeah.
14:49Decision for the big screen.
14:52Excellent catch that.
14:54Court attacking fielding
14:55from Abhishek Sharma.
14:57India needed that.
14:59Daryl Mitchell departs.
15:04Oh, nicely played.
15:06Nice way to bring up
15:06his half century.
15:09After struggling
15:10in the first few games,
15:12a catch going to ground
15:13and he's
15:15made the most of it.
15:1753 of 34
15:18and he's brought it up
15:19in style.
15:24Well, nicely played.
15:25Placement good
15:26and a boundary
15:27to add the over.
15:32Too short
15:33and too far down
15:33leg side.
15:34Phillips helps himself
15:36to four,
15:36brings up the New Zealand 100.
15:40That's the power
15:40we're talking about.
15:42Seifert rocks
15:42on the back foot.
15:44Another over
15:44in double digits.
15:49Well, not holding
15:51at the moment
15:51going full
15:52going wide
15:52and going
15:53back with a point
15:54for four more.
15:57Goes again
15:58to the man
15:59no in the gap.
16:00Four more
16:01to Seifert.
16:02Partnership building
16:03and they do go back
16:04to Varun Chakravarti
16:06and he disappears
16:08to mid wicket
16:09for four.
16:12Same spot
16:13same result
16:14four more.
16:18Glenn Phillips
16:18now at the top.
16:24With
16:24hammered again.
16:26There is a protection.
16:27Oh no.
16:29Eshin Kishin
16:29just spun.
16:31It spun on him
16:31a little bit
16:32but he still
16:32should have stopped it.
16:36Up and over.
16:38Up and over
16:39and away
16:39to the boundary
16:40for four.
16:44Oh it's
16:45hit hard.
16:47Thumb
16:49finger
16:49not sure
16:50but it's going
16:51to hurt.
16:52The ball
16:53out of the middle
16:53of the bat.
16:54Off balance
16:55bowler.
16:57It's reaction
16:57straight on
16:58that right thumb.
17:05Gets it through
17:06the offside.
17:07Might have been
17:07a little touch
17:08on it
17:08but not enough.
17:15Chakravati
17:15goes a little
17:16too full
17:17and Phillips
17:17goes bang
17:18down the ground.
17:21Oh chance
17:22put down
17:23got the end
17:23of the
17:24gloves
17:25of Sanju Sampson.
17:26It's a conventional
17:27leg spinner
17:27this time
17:28from Chakravati
17:29big edge.
17:30They either
17:30stick or they
17:31don't.
17:35That's
17:35even better.
17:36That is
17:37some shot
17:37from Glenn Phillips.
17:40just rotates
17:41the shoulder
17:42and hits
17:43through the
17:43ball
17:44over long
17:44off.
17:45One of the
17:45hardest shots
17:46in the book.
17:50That call
17:50two straight
17:51away.
17:51Timing was
17:52brilliant.
17:55he's picked

17:56Chopped on.
17:58It won't be a
