India wrapped up a 6‑wicket win over New Zealand, sealing a 3‑0 lead in the five‑match T20I series.
Abhishek Sharma’s 113 off 38 balls – 11 sixes, 9 fours – came in 35 deliveries, the fastest century in the series. The innings pushed the score past 200 in just 13.2 overs, leaving the hosts with 40 balls to spare.
The turning point arrived when Jamieson snared Sharma, and Phillips’ crisp catch at deep mid‑wicket ended the chase. New Zealand’s 198/3, anchored by Mitchell’s unbeaten 89, fell short as India’s bowlers tightened up in the final overs.
With the series now decided, India will face New Zealand in the fourth and fifth T20Is on Wednesday and Thursday, aiming for a clean sweep.
