New Zealand vs India , 5th T20I at Seddon Park, Hamilton , IND in NZ, 5 T20Is, 2026 , Nov 01, 2026 Scorecard

19.6: Adam Milne to Arshdeep Singh, A single to end the innings. India finish with 191/8. Adam switches to around the wicket for the left-hander and looks for the yorker. Arshdeep exposes all three stumps to open up the off side. Singh bunts the low full toss wide of extra cover and takes a single. A good final over by Milne. 2 wickets and just 7 runs off it. 

19.5: Adam Milne to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, OUT! CAUGHT! Wicket number 4 for Adam Milne. Bhuvi shows his cards early as he backs away and Milne follows him with a length ball with the seam staying upright. Kumar has a swing at it but the ball curves back in the air to catch the inner half. It is spooned down to long on, where Daryl Mitchell runs in off the ropes and slides to snaffle it safely. India are 190/8 with one ball left in the innings.

19.4: Adam Milne to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, FOUR! Nicely done. Yorker attempted by Milne and it tails back in again. It comes out as a low full toss, on the pads. Kumar uses the angle and the pace to help it to the left of short fine leg for a boundary.

19.3: Adam Milne to Prince Yadav, Bye. A bumper, over off. Prince makes room and throws his hands at the ball but is beaten for pace. It bursts through Tim Seifert's gloves and the batters sneak in a bye.

19.2: Adam Milne to Nitish Kumar Reddy, OUT! CAUGHT! Nitish Kumar Reddy holes out. Milne gets the ball to tail back into the right-hander and he keeps it very full. Reddy is deep in the crease and whips it away but he does not get the leverage to get under the ball. It goes only as far as deep mid-wicket, where Glenn Phillips moves forward and gobbles it up. India lose their last recognised batter with 4 balls left in the innings.

19.1: Adam Milne to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hits the top of off, does Milne, Kumar slices the drive past point for a single.

18.6: Blair Tickner to Nitish Kumar Reddy, FOUR! Reddy flashes and flashes hard. Tickner goes into the deck, well outside off. Reddy shuffles a bit and throws the kitchen sink at it. Gets a thickish outside edge and it races down to deep third.

18.5: Blair Tickner to Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Around off, on a back of a length. Kumar goes deep in the crease and guides it through third man for a single.

18.4: Blair Tickner to Naman Dhir, OUT! CAUGHT! Blair Tickner strikes back. It is the knuckleball that does the trick for Tickner. Dipping on the right-hander, full and in line with the off stump. Dhir has a swipe across the line and ends up cutting across the ball. Slices it off the outer half wide of extra cover, where Michael Bracewell moves to his left and dives to take the catch. We have seen some unusual celebrations throughout the history of the sport, but this one is a first as Tickner pulls out a Pokémon card and flashes it. 

18.3: Blair Tickner to Naman Dhir, A good comeback by Tickner. Takes pace off and goes into the surface, outside off. Dhir flashes at the ball but can only connect with thin air.

18.2: Blair Tickner to Naman Dhir, SIX! That has gone the distance. Tickner goes searching for the yorker but it comes out as a low full toss, angled into the pads. Dhir picks it up off the pads and with the angle, it sails over the long leg fence for half a dozen.

18.1: Blair Tickner to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Does not carry! Tickner dishes out the knuckleball and the seam stays upright, on a length, on off. Reddy hangs deep in the crease and clears the front leg to hit through the line. It is mishit towards wide long on, where Daryl Mitchell does not quite pick the ball straight away and runs around the ropes rather than running in. He dives forward eventually but the ball gets to him on the bounce. Just a single.

17.6: Jacob Duffy to Naman Dhir, Good finish to the over. Duffy pushes the length up, just outside the off stump. Dhir leans inside the line and sinks to his right knee to play the scoop but is beaten on the inside edge and the ball brushes his front pad before going to the keeper.

17.5: Jacob Duffy to Naman Dhir, Dug in short, over off. Dhir hops to flay it away but misses. That was a boundary opportunity with backward point and third man both up inside the circle.

17.4: Jacob Duffy to Naman Dhir, FOUR! Good movement in the crease. Pace taken off, on the shorter side, keeping the line outside off. Dhir moves across the stumps to get closer to the line of the ball. Stands tall on top of the bounce and spanks it in the gap between extra cover and long off.

17.3: Jacob Duffy to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Delivers it on a hard length, over off. Reddy arches back and makes a late decision to dab it down. Blair Tickner at short third dives to his right and keeps the batters down to a single.

17.2: Jacob Duffy to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Drags the length back, on off. Reddy punches it firmly but straight to extra cover.

17.1: Jacob Duffy to Nitish Kumar Reddy, SIX! High and long enough. Bowled at 132 kph, on a length, on off. Reddy takes a step back in the crease and clears the front leg. He puts his head down and swings through the line. Gets it more from the lower half, and the blade turns in his hand, but he manages to clear the wide long on fence.
