AhmedabadcTypeface:> The bilateral white-ball series between India and New Zealand is over and there are contrasting emotions on both the sides. The hosts were happy to have defeated the Kiwis in both ODI and T20I series, a team which has historically haunted them at big ICC events, New Zealand is leaving the country with agony in their mind, as it has not yet won a bilateral series in any format in India besides a one-off T20I match in 2012. After India captured the ODI series 3-0, the T20I series looked to be an exciting contest, with both teams boasting of hard-hitting batters. India lost a competitive first T20I by 21 runs, failing to chase down 177 runs set by NZ. The next match was a low-scoring affair in which India almost made a mess out of a 100-run chase before Suryakumar Yadav (26*) guided them to a six-wicket win. The series was level at 1-1. The third T20I showcased the high-scoring and low-scoring sides of the series. India were helped by knocks from Shubman Gill (126* off 63 balls), Rahul Tripathi (44 off 22 balls), Hardik Pandya (30 off 17 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (24 of 13 balls) to reach 234/4 in 20 overs. India then bundled out NZ for only 66 runs in 12.1 overs to win the match by 168 runs, and the series.

3rd T20I ScorescColor:> India 234/4 (Shubman Gill 126*, Rahul Tripathi 44; Daryl Mitchell 1-6) bt New Zealand 66 (Daryl Mitchell 35, Mitchell Santner 13; Hardik Pandya 4-16). (ANI)
