Abhishek Sharma’s breathtaking 14-ball fifty and a disciplined bowling effort powered India to a crushing eight-wicket win over New Zealand, sealing the T20I series 3-0 in Guwahati.
Jasprit Bumrah (3/17) and Ravi Bishnoi (2/18) restricted the visitors to 153/9 after India opted to bowl. In reply, Abhishek smashed an unbeaten 68 off just 20 balls, narrowly missing Yuvraj Singh’s national record, while skipper Suryakumar Yadav added 57 not out. India raced to the target with 10 overs to spare, underlining their dominance ahead of the T20 World Cup.
