The T20I series decider turned out be a one-sided affair as Team India steamrolled New Zealand in the 3rd T20I and won the game by 168 runs. With that, the Men in Blue took the series 2-1.

Batting first, the hosts finished at a mammoth 234/4, courtesy of a fiery 126 not out by Shubman Gill.

It proved to be a completely different track when the Kiwis came out to bat as they lost half their side with just 21 runs on the board.

The visitors were eventually bowled out for a mere 66, their 2nd-lowest total in T20Is.

Interestingly, India lost the first match of a bilateral T20I series (min 3 games) on ten occasions. They ended up winning 7 of those series while two ended in stalemates, with their only defeat coming in New Zealand in 2019.
