India defeats New Zealand in the third Twenty20 international
India was 75 for four in 9 overs while chasing the target, and skipper Hardik Pandya hit an unbeaten 18-ball 30 at the time of play’s interruption due to rain. The game couldn’t continue because McLean Park was being pelted by constant rain.
After Tuesday’s third and final game ended in a tie via the Duckworth-Lewis (DLS) method due to a rain delay, India defeated New Zealand 1-0 to win the three-match T20 series. After Tim Southee made the decision to bat, India’s bowlers put on an impressive performance to limit New Zealand to 160.
India was 75 for four in 9 overs while chasing the target, and skipper Hardik Pandya hit an unbeaten 18-ball 30 at the time of play’s interruption due to rain. The game couldn’t continue because McLean Park was being pelted by constant rain. When play was halted by rain, India’s score was even with the DLS score, and the match was deemed a tie.
Glenn Phillips (54) and Devon Conway (59) both scored half-centuries for New Zealand. Following the departures of Mark Chapman (12) and Finn Allen (3) during the powerplay overs, the two partnered for 86 runs.
New Zealand was all out in 19.4 overs, thanks to the effective bowling by the Indian team. Both Arshdeep Singh (4/37) and Mohammed Siraj (4/17) made an impression with the ball, taking four wickets each.
