Knocks from Tim Seifert (62 in 36 balls), Devon Conway (44 in 23 balls) set the tone for Kiwi dominance with a century stand and a fiery Daryl Mitchell (39* in 18 balls) pushed the Kiwis to 215/7 despite a middle over slump. During the chase, India lost wickets regularly untill the sight of the lanky all-rounder clubbing those huge sixes sent the Kiwis into a frenzy. However, a run-out ended his six-spree and India's hopes as the Kiwis got a victory to cherish after fumbling the series.

Clinical New Zealand secure a consolation 50-run win over India

With this consolation win for NZ, India cannot pull off a whitewash, as the series is 3-1 in favour of India with a game to go. Earlier, putting the Kiwis in to field first, the Indian bowling conceded too many runs against the openers Tim Seifert (62) and Devon Conway (44), who put on a century partnership. While Arshdeep Singh (2/33) and Kuldeep Yadav (2/39) put the brakes, Daryl Mitchell (39*) played a cameo to take NZ to 215/7. India kept losing wickets regularly, but Shivam's 23-ball 65 gave Team India some hope. After his dismissal, India was bundled out for 165 in 18.4 overs.
