Tim Seifert blasts 93 as New Zealand win fifth India T20

Tim Seifert scored 93 off 50 balls in New Zealand's seven-wicket victory over India in the fifth T20 of the series on Sunday. Seifert, who had scored just 36 runs in the previous four matches, batted for 50 balls, hitting 11 fours and five sixes. Adam Milne took 4-19 to limit India's total to 191-8, while Glenn Phillips added 65 not out.

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner admitted the team had missed opportunities in the first two matches, which they lost on points. Despite the loss, Seifert's big-hitting helped New Zealand secure their fifth T20 win. The teams will now face each other in a five-match one-day international series, followed by two Tests.
