India vs New Zealand live streaming: Where to watch 5th T20I match today?

New Zealand will aim to keep the momentum on their side in Thiruvananthapuram after an incredible outing in Visakhapatnam

India once again flexed their batting muscle in the fifth T20I against New Zealand at the Greenfield International Stadium on Saturday. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, the Men in Blue posted a towering 271 for 5, with the innings headlined by Ishan Kishan’s maiden T20I century.

 

Chasing 263 runs in 20 overs, New Zealand are staring at a stiff challenge as they look to sign off the series on a winning note.

 

Fast start, early setbacks

 

India began on an aggressive note, racing to 31 runs in just 17 balls for the opening stand. However, Sanju Samson’s lean run continued as he miscued Lockie Ferguson to third man and departed for 6 off 6 balls.

 

 

Abhishek Sharma showed early intent with a fluent 30 off 16 deliveries, but a dipping delivery from Ferguson caught him off guard and rattled his stumps. India finished the powerplay at 54 for 2.

 

Kishan–Suryakumar take charge

 

With wickets down, skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Kishan steadied the innings before launching a fierce counterattack. The pair stitched together a rapid half-century partnership, taking India past the 100-run mark in the 10th over.

 

Kishan continued his fine form, bringing up his eighth T20I fifty in just 28 balls, keeping the scoreboard ticking at a frantic pace.

 

Captain leads, Kishan goes big

 

Suryakumar soon followed with his 24th T20I half-century, and the duo ensured the run rate never dipped. The captain eventually fell for a blistering 63 off 30 balls, dismissed by Mitchell Santner to provide New Zealand with a rare moment of relief.

 

Kishan, though, carried on relentlessly, going on to notch up his first T20I hundred. His sparkling knock of 103 off 43 balls came to an end when Jacob Duffy found his wicket.

 

Pandya’s late flourish seals it

 

The finishing touches were applied by Hardik Pandya, who smashed 42 off just 16 balls in a brutal late cameo. Although he fell to Kyle Jamieson in the final over, the damage had already been done.

 

India eventually closed on 271 for 5, capping off a dominant batting performance and setting New Zealand a monumental chase in the series finale.

The coin flip of the match went in India's way who opted to bat first.  Captain's take after toss:  Suryakumar Yadav (IND): We are going to bat first. We were here last night, there was a lot of dew and we want to test ourselves. The groundsman says it is going to be true for 40 overs. Axar comes back, Ishan comes back and one more. Don't worry Thiruvananthapuram, Sanju Samson is playing tonight. We are waiting for him (Tilak). We have almost covered all the departments, every game we learn something and take it forward.  Mitchell Santner (NZ): It might not be too dewy tonight. We have got four changes - Allen in for Conway, Neesham is in for Chapman, KJ and Lockie are in. It is always nice to have them back. And it is an opportunity to see what they have got.  IND vs NZ 5th T20I playing 11:  IND playing 11: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson(w), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah  NZ playing 11: Tim Seifert(w), Finn Allen, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, Bevon Jacobs, Mitchell Santner(c), Kyle Jamieson, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Jacob Duffy
