Abhishek Sharma's 113 Dazzles as India Chase 199 in 13.2 Overs

Powerplay fireworks—India's openers hammered 118 runs in the first six overs, a record that rattled the New Zealand bowlers.

Abhishek Sharma’s 113 off 58 balls and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 45 off 32 stitched a 133‑run opening partnership, driving India to a 199‑target chase that took only 13.2 overs.

Iyer, flushed with adrenaline, admitted, "Absolutely stunning… how did they manage? Mind‑boggled." He praised the pace, noting, "Getting 100 in five overs—never seen that before at the international level."

With a 3‑0 series lead, India heads to the next match at Basin Reserve, eyes locked on a possible clean sweep.
