IND vs NZ, 5th T20I: Seifert, Phillips power New Zealand to 7-wicket win; India wins series 3-2

Hamilton Tim Seifert’s big-hitting self reawakened during a powerful 93 as New Zealand pummelled a low-on-intensity India by seven wickets in the fifth and final T20 in Hamilton on Sunday. The opener (93, 50b, 11x4, 5x6) shared an 86-run partnership with in-form Glenn Phillips (65 not out, 38b) for the third wicket as the hosts replied with 195 for three to India’s 191 for eight, which was constructed around fifties from Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan. Despite the defeat, India bagged the five-match series 3-2.
