Right then, India have posted a mammoth total on the board and will be confident enough of defending this and win the series. New Zealand, on the other need something really special to chase this down and for that they will need a good start in the Powerplay. Let's see how the chase unfolds.

New Zealand, on the other hand, will be very disappointed with their bowling effort here. Michael Bracewell once again gave them an early breakthrough, but they could not build on that. They had no answers for the Indian batters, especially Shubman Gill, who took them apart and spared no one. They came up against a special player in this game and will  need to give credit to Gill. Blair Tickner, Daryl Mitchell and Ish Sodhi were the other bowlers who picked up a wicket each. Mitchell was great under pressure as he conceded just six runs in the final over.

India has put on a show here for their fans. They came out with intent, and that reflected on their performance. They did lose Ishan Kishan early, but that did not bother them. Rahul Tripathi and Shubman Gill steadied the ship with a 80-run partnership, with the former setting the tone with a quick-fire 44 off just 22 balls. SKY came in and continued the momentum before getting out. Gill, on the other hand, held one end and scored his maiden T20I fifty before going hammer and tongs with Hardik Pandya on the other end. Both of them added 103 runs for the fourth-wicket. Gill went berserk at the fag end of the innings and registered his maiden T20I hundred as well and remained unbeaten on 126 runs off just 63 balls which is also the highest individual score by an Indian in this format.

Take a bow, Shubman Gill! He has shown everyone that he belongs in this format with an incredible hundred. He becomes the fifth Indian to score a ton in all three formats. This is also the highest total by any team against New Zealand in this format. In the last game, we saw 200 being scored in almost 40 overs, and here India have managed well beyond that in the first innings itself
