HAMILTON (New Zealand): India completed another Super Over win over New Zealand to lead 4-0 in the five-match series in T20 international here on Friday.
Needing seven off the last over, New Zealand lost four wickets in the final over to take the match into a Super Over, which the visitors won by one wicket after the score was tied
Colin Munro and Tim Seifert guided New Zealand to 13 for one from their six deliveries.
Both teams finished on 165, and even with New Zealand needing to knock off seven off the last over, Shardul Thakur bowled a fine final over to concede six.
Two needed off the final ball, Mitchell Santner and Scott Kuggeleijn ran a single and the match was a tie.
The Super Over was no less drama.
India dropped two chances off the first three balls off Bumrah, but managed to hold on to the fourth, but a boundary each to Colin Munro and Tim Seifert, the two men who at different points, had powered New Zealand’s chase with half-centuries, gave their side 12.
With Rohit Sharma rested, Virat Kohli jogged out with KL Rahul, who hit a six and a four, but holed out in the next. Kohli and Samson ran a smart double, and the Indian captain extended India’s lead in the series to 4-0 with a boundary.
