A 5-0 whitewash will be on the mind when Virat Kohli and his boys take on New Zealand in the final T20I at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. For the hosts, it will be all about playing for pride after they lost the third and fourth T20I in the Super Over, having dominated majority of the game in both the encounters.
India skipper Kohli has often spoken about the need to keep the winning momentum going when it comes to the shortest format of the game and that is exactly what his team has been doing against the Kiwis in this 5-match series.
While Mohammed Shami stole the show in the third T20I with a brilliant last over – defending the nine runs that the Kiwis needed with Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor at the crease – it was Shardul Thakur who stole the show in Friday’s encounter, defending just seven runs and picking two wickets.
