00:00Hello and welcome to the 5th T20i of the IDFC First Bank Series, a last opportunity for
00:17both India and New Zealand before the big even, the World Cup, starting from the 7th
00:22of February.
00:23Well, Samundool was down there with the captains for the toss and it was India again when in
00:29the toss but this time want to challenge themselves and have decided to back first, time to say
00:34good evening to Jens Smith but first up, Mooli Gargoyne.
00:38Let's play game number 5, oh swing and a miss, didn't step out this time, he sent them 3 out
00:48of the last 4 games for first ball itself, there he goes, over covers, has it gone on
00:58the way, yes it has, a very, very early contender for the Apollo Tires, called the distance award.
01:07Sanju Samson, oh that's very nicely placed, washed the ball onto the bat and placed it to perfection.
01:18He's out now, hasn't got a lot of it but enough to get to the boundary, 14 from the first over, India
01:27going in 14 without loss.
01:29Outside edge, got the rub of the green Sanju Samson, streaky but will take it.
01:41down the gap, that sounded so good, goes over long on and he goes a long way, 15 from this
01:54over, 29 without loss, India, miss it, should be gone and yes it is.
02:07Another low score for Sanju Samson, it has been a disappointing series and it's pin drop
02:13silence here at the venue.
02:15one for one.
02:16Down the ground, but wasn't quite over so far, but not anymore.
02:22That one's way, just over the head of extra cover and it almost carried all the way.
02:32Well this will go all the way I think, and it does, outside third of the bat, but very
02:43small square boundaries with Pace on.
02:47Pace on from Ferguson, 1.45 and change and he cleans up Abhishek.
02:58Well that was the quickest delivery bowl so far.
03:04Stepping out, and this is a big one, this is a big one.
03:10This is Abhishek's wicket, Abhishek goes for 30 of 16, India 48 for 2.
03:19Timing and placement, gorgeous from the skipper.
03:23really just trying to cramp him for room.
03:24He goes wide, and Skar goes bang!
03:30How far?
03:31A long way.
03:36In his slot, and there was only one way it was going.
03:39Ishan Kishan into the act, welcoming Isuri with a maximum.
03:48That was a very, very poor way to finish the over.
03:54Goes straight.
03:56A couple of steps towards the bowler, and he's drilled it straight over the boundary ropes.
04:05So slow, but beautifully hit through the offside.
04:08Had to wait on it, Ishan Kishan.
04:13Goes left side this time, and it's been dealt with.
04:24But this has gone all the way.
04:26Convincing from Ishan Kishan.
04:32What in innings this has been.
04:37Is in red hot form, and gets yet another 50.
04:41His 8th in T20 Internationals.
04:44And once again, coming at a very good time for India.
04:47In the gap, no chance for the fielders.
04:53Gets lucky, and that two should run away for four.
05:04Another expensive over for Isuri.
05:08Down the track, and this time over mid-wicket.
05:14Goes reverse, switch, whatever you want to call it.
05:20But he's dealing in boundaries.
05:23So 23 so far from this over.
05:29Six again.
05:31Oh, you have to feel for Isuri.
05:35But the crowd are on their feet.
05:37Sanju Samson or no.
05:39Ishan Kishan is entertaining them.
05:4129 of the over.
05:43141 for two.
05:50That's a really top shot.
05:52I know these aren't big boundaries.
05:58We'll get four for it.
05:59Wasn't quite where he was aiming, but that's the nature of T20 cricket.
06:03And there's a smile between bowler and batter on that occasion.
06:11And one bounce.
06:12And four more to add to the La Sonna.
06:17And it's destined towards us in the commentary box.
06:20About 10 feet below us.
06:22Oh, no, no, no, no.
06:27No, see Jacob Duffy almost fell over on his follow through.
06:30He didn't even bother looking up where that one went.
06:3350 for the captain.
06:35Again, he's been so consistent.
06:42Gorgeous shot that is.
06:44That is just wonderful, manipulative batting.
06:47Anywhere you like.
06:48Talk about holding the shot.
06:54Talk about holding the pose.
06:56That is about as good as you'll get.
07:01Stunt that time.
07:03Run past one and Santner because he does not give up.
07:06Perseveres.
07:08Absolutely perseveres and gets his man in the end.
07:12But at what cost?
07:14Okay.
07:16He's out of the ground.
07:17Ready for the decision.
07:21137 in partnerships broken.
07:23Gone for 63 of 30.
07:25Surya.
07:26185 for 3 India.
07:30That is out.
07:32Should be out.
07:34No.
07:36I don't believe I saw that from that man.
07:39That just doesn't happen with Glenn Phillips.
07:42About the downfall of the Indian skipper.
07:44Oh, how funny it just laid back on that.
07:48That is unbelievably good.
07:50It really is.
07:52To find the power there.
07:53Exceptional.
07:55Almost backward of point.
07:57In square leg.
07:58Hammered.
07:59Hammered.
08:00Hammered hard.
08:01Beats Finn Allen for four.
08:07In the gap.
08:08I think it is in the gap.
08:09But it's all the way as well.
08:1297 now for Ishan Kishin.
08:15Goes again and that'll be it.
08:18Brilliant from Ishan Kishin.
08:21His maiden T200 comes in international cricket.
08:27And that has been superb.
08:29He's been great through the series.
08:31But here in Thiruvanathapuram tonight.
08:34He has been simply special.
08:42Oh, join the party, Arik.
08:44Join the party because that is huge.
08:48That's all they're dealing in at the moment.
08:53And again.
08:54This one's out to Deepman Wick.
08:55It should be taken.
08:57And this time Phillips.
08:59Throws the ball on the ground in anger.
09:02Brings a magnificent innings to an end.
09:09And he's gone.
09:11For 103.
09:12It's 233 for four.
09:14And sure, his playing in the.
09:16Eleven.
09:17This is a fine shot.
09:18This is a fine shot.
09:22Everyone hits a shot.
09:24Just let out.
09:29Jamison with the last.
09:32Oh dear.
09:33Oh dear.
09:35That is not gonna help.
09:41Oh, six more.
09:48That one's been top-edged.
09:51Dickman Wickett in play.
09:53Uncomfortable.
09:54Bevan Jacobs.
09:55Out there in the deep.
09:56And that are very good innings from Hardik Pandira as well.
10:02Breezy 42 India.
10:04261 for five.
10:05Just the one ball based so far.
10:07Hits it down the ground and makes the most of it.
10:13Finishes the innings off.
10:15With a six.
10:16India's 23rd of the innings.
10:22Third highest score for India in T20 internationals.
10:27That is what is in front of New Zealand.
10:30It will take some going.
10:32They need 272 to win the fifth and final T20 international.
10:42First ball of the reply.
10:44272.
10:45A little bit of swing.
10:49And a boundary to start.
10:51That's how tough this ground can be.
10:54Because Ashteev Singh came up with quite a good delivery there.
11:00Straight down the ground.
11:01That's quite nice timing to begin with, isn't it?
11:02One, two, two, three.
11:07Might be a couple more because that's gone quite wide.
11:10In fact, it's going to be four.
11:12Well, you mentioned you want a fine leg, Murali Kartik.
11:15It was exposed there.
11:18Should be out is out.
11:19Just chipped straight to mid-wicket.
11:22Pretty soft dismissal in the end.
11:23Hardik Pandira's got very good hands.
11:26And that is quite a weird one.
11:28After a really good start for the over, New Zealand lose a wicket.
11:34Tim Seyford goes for five.
11:35New Zealand 17 for one.
11:40That's pretty easy.
11:43It really is.
11:46He has got brute power.
11:50He might do the same thing over the offside.
11:53A couple of bounces and that'll roll into the boundary.
11:55So, a really good cricket shot, that.
11:58No one back in the deep.
12:00As is that.
12:02Looks in rare touch, doesn't he?
12:05First glimpse of him.
12:07That previous shot was a beauty because the ball swung away from him.
12:13Oh, goodness me.
12:15Goodness me.
12:16Would it ever come down?
12:18Bang!
12:19That is sweet.
12:20We've seen some wonderful striking today.
12:23That is in the top bracket.
12:27Oh, hit with immense power that.
12:30Where do you bowl to Finn Allen?
12:36Four more to end the over.
12:3823 from it.
12:40And that has given Ashdeep Singh plenty to think about.
12:43Now, after two overs, he's gone for 40 and New Zealand a 46 for one.
12:48It's not been in use yet, which is quite surprising.
12:52Hardik Panya bowling his second.
12:54I would have thought Boomerang might have gotten over by now,
12:57but that's 50 up for New Zealand after just 3.1 overs.
13:01And, oh boy, there's a tall man at mid-off.
13:07The tallest they could pick was there.
13:09And I thought for a minute that the big man is going to lay a paw on this.
13:14He couldn't quite get up to it.
13:18He's got hold of it.
13:20And enough of it.
13:26He's found the gap this time.
13:27A 50 comes up of just 22 deliveries.
13:31His sixth 50 in T20Is.
13:36Well, that's a half-track up.
13:39And that's timed beautifully as well.
13:41Well, that's a big one.
13:43Goes all the way into the stands.
13:45Couple of games off.
13:48Well, that's head up in the air and will go over the boundary.
13:52Starts the over with a big six.
13:55Oh, that sounded so good.
14:00Yeah, no point even looking at it.
14:03That's gone into the stands.
14:07He hasn't timed it, has he?
14:08Yes, he has.
14:10He has.
14:12Well, that's a big over.
14:1417 from it.
14:16Eight overs gone.
14:17105 for one New Zealand.
14:18One New Zealand.
14:21Oh, missed everything.
14:31Gap for four.
14:33A great start to this over as well.
14:35Hasn't got that.
14:36Hasn't got that.
14:37And he does not drop many.
14:38Rinku Singh.
14:39Akshar Patel breaks the partnership.
14:41Right on 100.
14:42And Finn Allen has to go.
14:44He goes for a well-made 80 New Zealand.
14:45Akshar Patel breaks the partnership.
14:48Right on 100.
14:50And Finn Allen has to go.
14:54He goes for a well-made 80 New Zealand.
14:56A one one seven for two.
14:57Wicked leg side by Ratchan Ravindra for six more.
15:08Swung away leg side.
15:11Just a no look from Phillips for four.
15:17Tread up.
15:18Rinku Singh again.
15:19Underneath it.
15:20And pouches it comfortably.
15:23Another one for Akshar Patel.
15:24He's been really good.
15:28New Zealand a 1.31 for three.
15:36Head hard for four from Mitchell.
15:38Finishes the over with a boundary.
15:39But still a very good one.
15:41Put him under some pressure.
15:43Slower ball.
15:44He might have one.
15:45He might have one.
15:46And does.
15:48It's that man.
15:49You can't keep him out of the game.
15:50Akshar Patel.
15:53Terrific fielder.
15:54He's bowed beautifully.
15:56And that brings about the end of Ratchan Ravindra.
16:02Ashtip gets a wicket.
16:05And he might have two.
16:07Straight up.
16:08Straight to the captain.
16:09New Zealand.
16:10Santa's stay is a short one.
16:13And New Zealand.
16:15Through a great start.
16:16Just falling apart here now.
16:18This has gone a long way the other way.
16:28I don't think anyone picked it.
16:30Everybody was taken by surprise.
16:32And it goes for four byes.
16:36Goes for the Yorker.
16:38Hits straight down the ground.
16:39And Hardik Pandya gives up the chase.
16:44Effort delivery.
16:46And goes all the way.
16:48He threw everything at it.
16:50Did Daryl Mitchell.
16:52So ten runs of those first two balls from Jaspreet Bumrah.
16:57Again swung away.
16:58Again the same result.
17:00This is a wonderful leg.
17:09Beautifully hit.
17:11He comes in with that reputation.
17:13He is showcasing why.
17:14That's why.
17:18He wasn't picking him.
17:20And Varun Chakravarti does the clean up act.
17:25But he's on his way back for seven.
17:27And it's won 66-46.
17:34Driven through the offside.
17:36And Rinku can't make it.
17:38Just over the edge.
17:45Not the tallest of people there.
17:48Ishan Kishin.
17:50Yes he's saying it was too.
17:52Far away from me.
17:56No problems.
17:59No problems at all.
18:01Twice this has happened.
18:03One after.
18:05Ishan Kishin missed.
18:06He was caught in the deep.
18:07One over Ishan Kishin.
18:10And the batter drags on.
18:13Kai Jemisin gone for nine of five.
18:15It's 179 for seven.
18:19Finds another one.
18:20It's the five-up.
18:22For Arshnip Singh.
18:24Another chop on.
18:26Trying to spoon it away through the offside.
18:30Only manages in dragging that ball back to the stump.
18:33So what a night it has been.
18:35Went for plenty in the first two.
18:37And then comes back.
18:38By picking up a five-foot.
18:41Arshnip's got five-foot.
18:42Mitchell's gone.
18:44He's out for 26.
18:45It's 180 for eight.
18:46Bang.
18:47Good strike there from Ishan Kishin.
18:51Bang.
18:53Good strike there from Ishan Kishin.
18:55Ishan Kishin.
18:56The receiver from Ishan Kishin.
18:57And he's the peak.
18:58They are at 1325.
18:59Too many years.
19:00And they're not going to be the other one.
19:01And they're going to be the opposite.
19:02And they're going to be the perfect.
19:04They're at 1325.
19:05And they have a three-planning.
19:06And they're not going to go far.
19:07And they're going to be the next quarter.
19:08And then they're still at 1325.
19:09nine, Ferguson getting three of them. Brilliantly played from Esoti, that is a magnificent shot.
19:22Four more just to finish it off, so Bumragosa 58 and New Zealand after 18 overs are 204 for nine.
19:33That's a beautiful straight hit from Soti, gorgeous cricket shot.
19:39Oh, Soti's got that, has he? Has he? Yes, he has, just enough. Over Abhishek down there at Long On.
19:50This will be the last act of the game, yes it is.
19:54Comfortable catch for Steep who puts the ball in the pocket because he got a five-wicket bag and why not?
20:00Rinku gets the last save for India and New Zealand are all out with two balls to go
20:07for 225. A handy run chase, but believe it or not, still 45 runs away from India's effort.
20:16Yes, it's a massive win, it's a big win. There was a bit of a scare when Finn Allen and Rachin Ravindu were batting.
20:24They had added 100 runs between them.
20:30It is a very good win for India.
20:35That is the last game of the series. India had already wrapped up the series, but 271 is what India got.
20:41Ishan Kishan, of his first T20i, 100, 103 and just 43. Another half century for Surya.
20:48A mammoth total of 271. New Zealand, 225.
20:52And India winning this last game by 46 runs in the series, four games to one.
