भारत vs न्यूजीलैंड, पांचवां टी-20, ग्रीनफील्ड इंटरनेशनल स्टेडियम, तिरुवनंतपुरम, 31 January 2026 - हाइलाइट्स

OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! An absolute beauty from Varun. A deceptive googly from Varun Chakaravarthy, on a length, around off. It lands and skids and spins in dramatically. Bevon Jacobs does not pick the wrong' un and tries to drive it away, but without moving his feet. That creates a huge gap between the bat and pad and the ball sneaks through to crash into the stumps behind. Bevon Jacobs falls for 7 (11) and New Zealand are 166/6, needing 106 more off 35 balls.

A touch full, on leg, Kyle misses to get any connection and the ball rolls off the pads to backward square leg. They get a leg bye.

Good length just outside off, turning back in and bouncing a bit extra. Mitchell drops to one knee to attempt the paddle but misses, and Kishan shuffles across behind the stumps, failing to gather it cleanly.

A touch fuller, just outside off, Daryl Mitchell looks to drive it away, but gets a thick inside edge past the stumps towards short fine leg for a single. 

Flights it up, on a length, on off. Kyle Jamieson hangs back and tries to pull, but gets a thick inside edge onto the back thigh. It rolls past Kishan to his left for a single at deep fine leg. 

Good length, on off stump. Daryl goes down to sweep it between deep fine leg and deep square. Axar charges across from the latter position to his right, and they manage to come back for a couple of runs.

FOUR! That is a fine shot! Good length and around off, Kyle Jamieson backs away and punches it on the rise towards long off. Rinku Singh runs to his left from long on but has no chance of stopping that from going to the fence.

FOUR! Just over! A deceptive slower bouncer, on middle, Kyle Jamieson looks to pull it away but gets a top edge behind. Ishan Kishan leaps high in the air but the ball still evades him and goes to the fence for a boundary. Arshdeep is telling Kishan that he could have done better but the ball was too high to be fair.

OUT! DRAGGED ON! Number four for Arshdeep Singh. He bangs this into the pitch, on off, rolls his fingers to take pace off. Kyle Jamieson opens up his stance for the big heave across the line but goes through the shot early. He only manages to get a bottom edge back onto the stumps. New Zealand are 179/7 now.

Right in the blockhole, on middle, Ish Sodhi jams it out through extra cover for one.

OUT! CHOPPED ON! Fifer for Arshdeep, and he is off running and celebrating here. He bowls a wide yorker, outside off. Daryl Mitchell gets into position to play the reverse scoop and takes it on the full as well. However, the ball goes off the toe-end of the bat and crashes onto the stumps. No idea how that ball hit the stumps from there, as even if Mitchell tried, he could not do it again. He departs for 26 off 12, and the Kiwis are 8 down now.

A full toss, on off, Lockie Ferguson steers it wide of point. Sanju Samson dives to his right and makes a half-stop. They cross.

Short and around leg, Lockie Ferguson flicks it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Another missed stumping! Ishan Kishan has not had a great night behind the stumps. Arm ball, full and on middle, angling in, Ish Sodhi uses his feet to slog it but it looks like he misses. Kishan, behind the stumps, fails to gather it cleanly. They cross. Oh..on the replay, it shows that Sodhi did get some bat on that, maybe that's why Kishan missed it.

Short and on leg, Lockie Ferguson works it through square leg for one.

SIX! Gets hold of that one! Flighted, full and on middle, Ish Sodhi skips down the track and heaves it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

Flatter, full and around off, Ish Sodhi uses his feet again to drive it through cover but gets an inside edge towards mid-wicket for one.

OUT! TIMBER! Number nine goes now now. Axar Patel gives this one some more flight, full and on middle, Lockie Ferguson dances down the track to slog it across the line but misses a straight one as it goes through to rattle the stumps. India need just one wicket to win now.

FOUR! Oh..that is an outrageous shot! Jasprit Bumrah nails the yorker, outside off. Ish Sodhi somehow gets his bat down, opens the face and squeezes it out to the third man fence for a boundary. Bumrah can only smile.

Hard length and around off, Ish Sodhi punches it through cover-point for one.

Short and slow, outside off, Jacob Duffy pulls it off the top edge. But the ball lands safely in the vast acreage of deep mid-wicket. Two taken.

Slow again, on top of middle. Jacob heaves it to deep square leg for a single.

Off cutter, short and outside off, Sodhi dabs it to the right of short third for a single. 200 up for New Zealand.

FOUR! Jasprit Bumrah goes for 58 in his 4 overs! He bowls this in the blockhole, angling into leg. Jacob Duffy backs away to dig it out, but gets it from the toe-end of the bat. The bounce takes it over Ishan Kishan as it races to the fine leg fence for a boundary.

Flighted, full and on middle, Ish Sodhi drags it wide of long on for a couple of runs.

Superb effort in the deep! Short and around off, Ish Sodhi carves it away over extra cover. Rinku Singh from deep point covers a lot of ground to his right and dives to push the ball back inside just in time. He saves two runs for his side. Even with the match already in the bag, he is still putting his all on the field.

SIX! That is a shot a top-order batter will be proud of! Tossed up, full and on middle, Ish Sodhi skips down the track, lofts it with a straight bat over the bowler's head for a biggie.

A shout for LBW, but turned down! However, SKY takes the review here. Flatter, shortish and on middle and leg, Ish Sodhi looks to heave it across the line but misses and gets hit on the pads. Ball Tracking shows that it is missing the leg stump. The on-field calls remains.

Floated, full and on off, Jacob Duffy backs away and lofts it to long off for one.

Looped up, full and on middle, Ish Sodhi uses his feet and slogs it to deep mid-wicket for a brace.

Short and around off, Jacob Duffy swats it to long off for a single.

SIX! Just over! Tossed up, full and on middle, Ish Sodhi clears his front leg away and launches it down the ground. Abhishek Sharma at long on thinks he is the game, moves to his right but only watches it sail over his head for a biggie.

Flatter, short and outside off, Ish Sodhi reaches out but shanks it off the toe-end towards point.

OUT! TAKEN! Rinku Singh wraps things up with a wicket! He drags his length back again, outside off. Ish Sodhi has to reach out for it again but only manages to slice it off the outer half of the bat. It lobs up in the air, and Arshdeep Singh at cover-point takes a dolly. He puts the ball in his pocket as he has taken a fifer here. INDIA WIN BY 46 RUNS!
