Shivam Dube's explosive half-century was the highlight of India's chase, but it wasn't enough to prevent a 50-run defeat against New Zealand in the fourth T20I on Wednesday, as the Kiwis extended their lead to 3-1 in the five-match series.
Dube, who struck an outstanding 65 off just 23 balls (3 fours, 7 sixes), played a lone hand in India's steep pursuit of 216. Despite his best efforts, India were bowled out for 165 in 18.2 overs, falling short by 50 runs.
India's chase began poorly with the absence of Ishan Kishan due to an injury. Abhishek Sharma, tasked with leading the charge, was dismissed off the first ball, skying Matt Henry to Devon Conway at deep point. Suryakumar Yadav followed soon after, pushing meekly to Jacob Duffy, who completed a brilliant return catch. India found themselves reeling at 9 for 2.
Rinku Singh (39) and Sanju Samson (24) tried to steady the ship, but both struggled to accelerate the scoring. Rinku was dismissed leg-before to Zak Foulkes, and Samson, after hitting a six off Duffy, was bowled out by Mitchell Santner. Hardik Pandya also failed to make an impact, leaving India at a precarious 82 for 5 in the 11th over.
Dube, however, was in destructive form, undeterred by the mounting required rate. He smashed 29 runs off Ish Sodhi's third over, including consecutive sixes and fours, and brought up his fifty in just 15 balls. His partnership with Harshit Rana (9) added 63 runs, but the chase effectively ended when Rana’s straight drive hit Henry’s hand and deflected onto the stumps at the non-striker’s end, dismissing Dube.
Earlier, New Zealand's innings were anchored by Tim Seifert, whose blistering 62 off 36 balls (7 fours, 3 sixes) set the tone. Seifert's aggressive stroke play helped New Zealand to a solid start, reaching 71 for no loss at the end of the Powerplay. Conway contributed 44 off 33 balls, but India fought back, taking four wickets for 37 runs to reduce the Kiwis to 137 for 4 in 13.4 overs. Despite a late flurry from Daryl Mitchell (39* off 18), New Zealand reached 215 for 5, setting a challenging target.
