Commentary

Team India registered an emphatic 168-run victory over New Zealand in the third and final T20I in Ahmedabad and clinched the series 2-1.

Having posted a mammoth 234 for the loss of four wickets at the spectacular Narendra Modi Stadium, a spirited Indian bowling line-up skittled the Blackcaps for a paltry 66 in 12.1 overs.

Shubman Gill starred with the bat for India as the young opener smashed an unbeaten 126* off 63 balls to guide the hosts to a big total. It was the maiden T20I century for the 23-year-old talented right-handed batter.

Rahul Tripathi (44) and captain Hardik Pandya (30) too played a brilliant hand with the bat as the Men in Blue posted the biggest total against the Kiwis. Gill smashed 12 fours and seven maximums in the match.

Chasing a humongous target, the New Zealand batting order fell like a castle of cards and was blown away by Indian bowlers.

The skipper contributed with the ball as well and finished with his best figures of 4/16 and got support from the other pacers as no visiting batter could live up to the expectation. Daryl Mitchell (35 off 20) was the last wicket to perish and the highest scorer for the Kiwis in the big run chase.

With this win, the Men In Blue continued their dominance at home. Despite losing the first game, they've come back strongly to win back-to-back matches and won the series.
