Bumrah seals series win over NZ: 3rd T20 (Trivandrum)

Paceman Jasprit Bumrah was the star as India defeated New Zealand by six runs in the third and final T20 to win the series 2-1.

After rain reduced the game to 8 overs each, India struggled to 67/5. Tim Southee bowled well for New Zealand with figures of 2/13 in his two overs.

The Kiwis needed 19 off the last over but fell short. Bumrah (2/9) and Yuzvendra Chahal (0/8) bowled exceptionally well under pressure to restrict the Kiwis.

India 67 for 5 (Pandey 17, Southee 2-13) beat New Zealand 61 for 6 (de Grandhomme 17*, Bumrah 2-9) by 6 runs.
