India, New Zealand Live Score Updates, T20 2026: Arshdeep Singh concedes a boundary to Finn Allen

India will aim to wrap up the series on a high when the Suryakumar Yadav–led side faces New Zealand in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday. The hosts had already sealed the five-match series by winning the opening three encounters but suffered a 50-run defeat in the fourth game.

In that match, Tim Seifert smashed a brisk half-century, while Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell steadied the innings to propel New Zealand to a formidable 215/7. Chasing the target, Shivam Dube stood out with an aggressive knock, but a lack of support from the rest of the batting lineup saw India fall short.

India squad: Suryakumar Yadav (C), Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Rinku Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ishan Kishan, Ravi Bishnoi.

New Zealand squad: Mitchell Santner (C), Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Jacob Duffy, Zak Foulkes, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Bevon Jacobs, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Robinson, Ish Sodhi, Kristian Clarke.

The India vs New Zealand match will be broadcast live on Star Sports Network, with live streaming available on the Jio Hotstar app and website.
