Jasprit Bumrah to Mitchell Santner. Back of a length, outside off stump moves in front pulling, to fine leg for 1 run, fielded by Shami.
Fabulous end to the innings for New Zealand and they have posted a very good total. 203-5 is what they end on with half-centuries from Munro, Williamson and Taylor, all of which came in sharp time. Eden Park is known for some big scores though so India won't be daunted by the chase, especially with their batting lineup.

SIX! Tim Southee to Shreyas Iyer. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. High quality ball striking from Iyer as he finishes the game in style for his side. An unbeaten half-century when his team were under a bit of pressure and winning with a whole over to spare.
Fantastic run chase by the entire Indian side and New Zealand could not do anything to stop the runs from flowing. Brilliant match and it has set the series up nicely.

▶

Ross Taylor (New Zealand) had a false shot rate of just 17.5% in the last men’s T20I series between New Zealand and India, the lowest of any player in that series to face more than one ball; indeed, his dot ball rate of 21% was the lowest of any of the nine players to face 50+ balls during that series.
▶

Martin Guptill (New Zealand) has scored 508 T20I runs at Eden Park, the most of any batsman at a single venue in the format; however, he's finished with a play and miss rate above 10% in two of his last three innings there.
▶

Mitchell Santner picked up a career-best 20 T20I wickets during the previous calendar year; almost twice as many as any other New Zealand bowler in 2019 (Tim Southee, 12).
