Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh claimed his second T20I five-wicket haul as India defeated New Zealand by 46 runs in the fifth match at Greenfield Stadium on Saturday to clinch the series 4-1.
India piled up a massive 271/5, led by Ishan Kishan’s scintillating 42-ball maiden T20I century and captain Suryakumar Yadav’s fluent 63, with Hardik Pandya adding late impetus. New Zealand threatened through Finn Allen’s blazing 80, but his dismissal sparked a collapse.
Arshdeep bounced back strongly to finish with 5-50, well supported by Axar Patel’s 3-33, as the visitors were bowled out for 225 in 19.4 overs.
