The third and final T20I between India and New Zealand ended as a tie as rain played spoilsport in Napier. Chasing 161, India were 75/4 at the end of the 9 overs when rain stopped play. The Men in Blue were levelled with the DLS par score. With this tie, the Hardik Pandya-led side clinched the series 1-0 after they had registered a win in the second T20I.
Opting to bat first, New Zealand looked in cruise control at one stage after Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips chipped in with a stand of 86 runs for the third wicket. Both the batters struck fifties but Phillips’ departure in the 16th over was followed by a flurry of wickets as the hosts were eventually bundled out for 160 in 19.4 overs.
Unfortunate that rain interrupted what was developing into a keen contest. All things considered, tie was fair to both sides. India clinch the rubber of course, a big confidence booster for the OdI series that follows #NZvsINDonPrime #CricketonPrime

Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh bagged a four-wicket haul each.
In reply, India too had a disappointing start as they lost wickets at regular intervals and were 75/4 in 9 overs when rain interrupted play. Pandya remained unbeaten at 30 off 18 while Deepak Hooda returned not out at 9 of 9.
The two sides will now lock horns with each other in a three-match ODI series.
