India Eye 4-1 Finish as Hamilton Hosts T20I Series Finale

India will look to close out their New Zealand tour on a winning note when the fifth and final T20I is played at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Sunday.

Shreyas Iyer's side already hold an unassailable 3-1 lead, but they arrive in Hamilton smarting from an 87-run defeat in Auckland, where New Zealand piled up 259 and ended India's hopes of a clean sweep.

The match starts at 12:30 PM IST, with the hosts hoping to carry their Auckland momentum into a second straight win and a 3-2 series scoreline.

Changes on the cards

India could freshen up their side, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Kuldeep Yadav in line for recalls, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar looks set to miss out after an expensive return series in which he managed one wicket and conceded 139 runs in three outings.

A ground that owes India one

India are still waiting for a first T20I win at Seddon Park, having lost one and tied the other of their two previous visits, while New Zealand have won 11 of their 14 T20Is at the venue.
