Tim Seifert rediscovered his big-hitting form with a brilliant 93, guiding New Zealand to a seven-wicket victory against India in the final T20I on Sunday. New Zealand comfortably chased India's target of 191, finishing at 195/3 with Seifert's 50-ball knock and Glenn Phillips' unbeaten 65 proving decisive.
Despite the loss, India clinched the five-match series 3-2. Earlier, India's innings was anchored by brisk half-centuries from captain Shreyas Iyer (50 off 23 balls) and Ishan Kishan (61 off 32 balls), who shared a 107-run partnership. However, inspired bowling from Adam Milne, who took four wickets for 19 runs, restricted India's final total.
New Zealand's chase, though starting shakily, gained momentum with a significant partnership between Seifert and Daryl Mitchell. Seifert, who was dropped on 13, accelerated brilliantly to reach his fifty, while Phillips ensured the hosts crossed the finish line smoothly. The Indian bowlers struggled to contain the New Zealand batsmen on a pitch offering bounce.
