IND vs NZ: Team India scored 234 runs against New Zealand in the third and final T20I at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad thanks to an impressive unbeaten century from opener Shubman Gill. The Men in Blue and the visitors are at odds as both teams are vying for victory in the final T20I, which will decide the series.
Ishan Kishan’s early departure after choosing to bat first did not prevent the other members of the batting order from scoring significant runs. Rahul Tripathi, who joined Shubman Gill after Kishan was fired, got the boundaries multiple times and quickly got up to speed. He failed to turn it into a significant total, though, as he was dismissed for 44 runs off 22 balls with a strike rate of 192.85.
After settling in a little bit, Gill changed up his approach and used his blitz to lead India to a significant victory. The batter instantly picked up after scoring around 70 runs, started hitting back-to-back home runs, and quickly achieved his century. In the final T20I against the Kiwis, the flashy right-hander needed just 54 balls to reach his first T20I century. Notably, Gill’s unbeaten 126-run innings have overtaken Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as the greatest individual score for India in T20Is.
The Men in Blue, who produced a pretty massive total and appear to be the favourites to win the series, hope to win the final T20I after tying the series in Lucknow in the second T20I.
The second innings chase will be difficult for the Kiwis, but the visitors will attempt to match India’s expected batting performance. If the Indian bowlers are to gain an advantage and maintain it, they must coordinate their efforts.
Indian bowlers’ early successes have startled the BlackCaps in their run-chase in the series-deciding game. It will be interesting to watch if the visitors can perform a miracle and steal the game from the home team.
