Teams:

New Zealand (Playing XI): Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Tim Seifert(w), Ross Taylor, Tom Bruce, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Scott Kuggeleijn, Tim Southee(c), Ish Sodhi, Hamish Bennett

Another failure for Sanju Samson. 

The ball was struck nicely, but it goes straight to Santner at the cover. It was a half-volley by Kuggeleijn.

KL Rahul is angry after gifting that catch. 

The ball was on a back of a length and got stuck into the wicket, Rahul was looking to work it to the on-side but ends up closing the face of the bat early. 

The ball lands into the hands of Santner at the cover.

The Hitman is in pain and was still on the field and hitting the ball out of the park.

However, he could not take it more and was seen in extreme discomfort. A calf injury forces Rohit off the field while he was batting on 60.

He is walking off and it makes sense with this being World Cup year.

Shivam Dube does not manage to convert and is out for 5.

At deep mid-wicket, Tom Bruce settles under the skier comfortably. Kuggeleijn's slower ball and wider outside off got Dube to fetch the ball for the slog.

Bumrah with a maiden over and takes an important wicket. He sends Guptill back with an Lbw!! 

Guptill thought about taking a review and had a chat with Munro. However, his teammate didn't feel that the idea was worth it and it looked marginal in real-time.

First, Washington Sundar makes sure to send Munro back.

A change in angle worked for Sundar! He aimed to cramp Munro and the left-hander backed away early for the cut.

The leg stump got disturbed giving India another major breakthrough. 

Both openers are sent back cheaply

In the second, it was a whole team effort. What a brilliant work from KL Rahul! 

There wasn't anyone near the stumps and Samson sent the ball back to Rahul who raced himself forward to collect it and dived in front to whip off the bails. 

Tom Bruce goes for a duck.

Tom Bruce run out (Samson/Rahul) 0(3)

Navdeep Saini bangs it in short and in that rib-cramping-line with full pace.

Seifert awkwardly backs away and then gets it off the splice at short mid-wicket. Sanju Samson takes an easy catch.

A set batsman falls. 

Seifert c Samson b Navdeep Saini 50(30) [4s-5 6s-3]

Seeing Jasprit Bumrah back in his element is every Indian cricket fans dream.

And makes sure to make his fans happy with a Yorker. 

Daryl Mitchell did not even get time to settle and Bumrah who is called in does what he'd set it all up for.

From wide of the crease, angling in, swinging in and sneaking comfortably under Mitchell's late squeeze. 

Daryl Mitchell b Bumrah 2(4)

This is Ross Taylor's 100th game and he makes sure to make the most of it.

When NZ are in need, he steps up and scores a 50.

SN Thakur is on fire. Santner was playing his part to perfection but a knuckleball, sealed the deal.

Santner hits the ball downtown, across the line and mistimes it. 

Manish Pandey balances as he takes the catch on the boundary line. 

Santner c Manish Pandey b SN Thakur 6(7)

Thakur then strikes again as he sent Kuggeleijn back.

A bouncer, climbing, pulled badly, top-edged, backward square leg.

Kuggeleijn c Washington Sundar b SN Thakur 0(1)

The main man is out. On his 100th T20I game, Navdeep Saini sends Ross Taylor back.

This one was a full and wide outside off. Taylor goes. 

He throws his bat at it, tickles, and the keeper-skipper can do no wrong. 

Ross Taylor c Rahul b Navdeep Saini 53(47) [4s-5 6s-2]

Tim Southee Bowled!! 

And with a Yorker, Southee is told to walk back.

Southee b Bumrah 6(5) [4s-1]

And it's a clean sweep for India away from home!!!!!

New Zealand could not pull things in their favour after they restricted the Indians to a seemingly sub-par 163. After Seifert and Taylor's wicket, things started looking bad for the Kiwis.

Clean sweeps for India away from home (3+ match):

3-0 v Australia in AUS 2015/16

3-0 v West Indies in USA/WI 2019

5-0 v New Zealand in NZ 2020
