Tim Seifert’s blistering 62 and skipper Mitchell Santner’s three-wicket burst powered New Zealand to a convincing 50-run win over India in the fourth T20I at the ACA-VDCA Stadium.
Seifert set the tone in the powerplay, while Devon Conway’s 44 and Daryl Mitchell’s late surge lifted New Zealand to 215/7. In reply, India slipped early before Shivam Dube produced a stunning counterattack, smashing 65 off 23 balls.
However, Dube’s run-out ended India’s hopes as Santner and the New Zealand bowlers wrapped up the innings for 165.
