3rd T20 match between India and New Zealand highlights: The DLS approach resulted in a tie. At 75/4 in nine overs, Hardik Pandya and Deepak Hooda were at the wicket. Rain delayed play. In the Powerplay, New Zealand made an early impact by reducing India to 26/3 in the opening four overs. Ishan Kishan (10) and Rishab Pant (11) left the field first. Shreyas Iyer lost to the short ball once more without interfering with the scoring. Unfortunately, Surya times one straight to Glenn Phillips of Ish Sodhi and dies for 13 despite having a fantastic appearance as he always does (10).
Mohammad Siraj bowled brilliantly earlier in the game to record his best statistics of his career, 4/17. (4). Arshdeep Singh took four wickets in the match. In contrast, New Zealand’s opening pair of Devon Conway (59), Glenn Phillips (54), and their 86-run third-wicket stand propelled them to a commanding position of 130-2 in the 16th over. The blackcaps, however, lost nine runs for 30 runs after that and were dismissed for 160 runs in their allotted 20 overs.
