Seifert Guides New Zealand to Consolation Win over India in Fifth T20I
New Zealand seek a series-closing win after Tim Seifert and Glenn Phillips powered their chase in the previous match, officials said.
- On Sunday, New Zealand defeated India by seven wickets in the fifth and final T20I at Seddon Park, Hamilton, chasing down 192 in 17.4 overs as India clinched the five-match series 3-2.
- New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner won the toss and elected to bowl first, while India made two changes, recalling pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar and including wrist spinner Varun Chakravarthy for his first appearance of the series.
- India posted 191/8 after a 93-run partnership between Ishan Kishan and captain Shreyas Iyer, but Adam Milne's four-wicket haul for 19 runs restricted the visitors' momentum in the death overs.
- Tim Seifert scored 93 off 50 deliveries while Glenn Phillips remained unbeaten on 65, combining for an 86-run partnership to power New Zealand to the target with two overs remaining.
- Both teams now shift to the five-match ODI series beginning Wednesday in Auckland, using these fixtures to study combinations ahead of next year's ICC World Cup.
