IND vs NZ 5th T20: India lead 3-1. Team India had already taken the series by winning the first three matches. But in the fourth match, New Zealand turned around and won.
The five-match T20I series between India and New Zealand is coming to an end. India is currently leading the series by 3-1. Team India had already taken the series by winning the first three matches. But in the fourth match, New Zealand turned around and won. This time the last and fifth match of the series will be held at Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruananthapuram.
The reason for the added interest surrounding this match is the performance of the bowlers on this field. India’s Arshdeep Singh tops the list of bowlers who have taken the most wickets in T20 International cricket at Thiruananthapuram. He has taken four wickets in just two matches at this ground. His best bowling figures here are 3 wickets for 32 runs.
Three bowlers are joint second in this list. Indian spinner Ravi Bishnoi has picked up 3 wickets with 32 runs in just one match at this ground. At the same time, Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna also took 3 wickets with 41 runs in a match. Australia’s Nathan Ellis is joint second with them.
Jasprit Bumrah is fifth in the list of bowlers who have taken most wickets in Thiruananthapuram. He played one match here and bowled brilliantly with 2 wickets for just 9 runs in that match. Bumrah has always been very good at taking wickets at low cost.
Arshdeep Singh, Jashprit Bumrah and Ravi Bishnoi – all three are likely to feature in the fifth T20I. As a result, the competition between the bowlers will increase in this match. Now, it remains to be seen whether Arshdeep can retain his top spot, or whether Bumrah or Bishnoi catches the eye again.
