The third T20I encounter at Henry Stadium in Wellington has witnessed a phenomenal batting display as Abhishek Sharma smashed his fourth T20I century, scoring 113 off 38 balls to push India to the threshold of a series-clinching triumph in the five-match series where they already lead 2-0. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi provided an explosive start with a quickfire 45 off 19 balls, assisting India in recording the highest Powerplay total in the history of men’s T20Is. New Zealand had previously posted 198/3 upon being invited to bat, successfully overcoming an early collapse to 6/1 in 1.2 overs through a magnificent recovery led by Finn Allen and Daryl Mitchell. While Allen contributed 40 off 25 balls before his dismissal, Mitchell continued his fine form to remain unbeaten on 89 off 52 deliveries, hitting five fours and five sixes along the way.
