New Zealand won the fourth and fifth T20 matches against India, who won the five-match series 3-2.
New Zealand won the fourth and fifth Twenty20 internationals against India, though the series finished 3-2 in India's favour after they claimed the first three matches.
In Auckland, New Zealand posted 259 for 7, their highest T20 total, after being sent in to bat. Glenn Phillips scored 107 from 49 balls and Michael Bracewell made 65, adding 115 for the fifth wicket. The pair punished India's bowlers for 20 sixes and 14 fours. Phillips said the short boundaries at Eden Park and favourable wind conditions helped their approach. India struggled with the bat, losing two wickets in the first over and four in the powerplay. Jacob Duffy took 4-23 and Mitchell Santner took two early wickets to surpass 150 wickets in T20 cricket. New Zealand won by 87 runs.
In the fifth and final match in Hamilton, New Zealand chased down India's 192 for victory. Tim Seifert scored 93 with five sixes and 11 fours before falling to Nitish Kumar Reddy. Glenn Phillips then guided New Zealand home with 65 not out, bringing his series total to 341 runs, the highest individual aggregate in a bilateral T20 series, surpassing England's Phil Salt's previous record of 331.
