Match report
India chose to bowl and pegged New Zealand back early, with the hosts at 41 for 3 inside six overs. Glenn Phillips and Bevon Jacobs then rebuilt with a big fourth-wicket stand that took New Zealand to 157 before Arshdeep Singh removed Phillips late on. New Zealand finished on 180 for 5.
The chase wobbled badly. Mitchell Santner’s left-arm spin took four wickets and India slid to 112 for 6 in the 15th over. Tilak Varma turned it around with an unbeaten 51 from 26 balls, and Nitish Kumar Reddy stayed with him and hit the winning runs with one ball to spare.
VSH take
Two last-over chases in two games. India’s batting depth is the story of this series so far, but losing six wickets for 112 against spin is something the team will want to fix before the third T20I.
