00:06Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson had an opening partnership of 31.
00:11Samson fell for six, but Sharma went on to score three-tier.
00:18After both openers were out, Ishan Kishan and captain Surya Kumar Yadav took over the show.
00:26Their stand was worth 137 for the third wicket.
00:30A couple of steps towards the baller.
00:33Yadav made a swashbuckling 63 of three-tier balls.
00:36Less than towards us in the commentary box, about 10 feet below us.
00:40But Kishan was even better and got to his maiden century in style.
00:45Brilliant formation, Kishan. His maiden T20.
00:50Kishan's belligerent innings ended at 103 of 43 balls.
00:54The wicket should be taken, and this time Phillips.
00:58And Hardik Pandya made 42 of 17 balls, as India closed on a daunting 271 for five from 20 overs.
01:06Oh, six more.
01:08When New Zealand responded, Tim Seifert fell to Arshteev Singh for five.
01:13But his opening partner, Finn Allen, was batting brilliantly.
01:16That's pretty easy.
01:19Allen and Rachan Ravindra had a stand worth 100, doing so in quick time.
01:23A couple of bounces and a little rolling.
01:26Allen made 80, while the left-handed Ravindra chipped in with 30.
01:29Side by Rachan Ravindra for six more.
01:32Akshar Patel removed the dangerous Glenn Phillips for seven.
01:35Straight up, Rinku Singh again, underneath it, and pouches it comfortably.
01:40Half the side was out for 166.
01:43He wasn't picking him.
01:44Arshteev Singh was expensive, but he grabbed five wickets.
01:52Akshar Patel was brilliant, taking three for 33 from four overs.
01:58Ish Sodhi made 33 lower down the order, but in vain.
02:01In the end, New Zealand were all out for 225 in the final over and lost by 46 runs.
02:13As such, India clinched the series 4-1.
02:16Vinod Nawani, Chiefs Export.
