Abhishek Sharma hits ton as India beat New Zealand by 6 wickets in 3rd T20
The opening pair put on 133-run partnership as India chased down 199 to wrap up the five-match T20 series.
An aggressive partnership between Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi propelled India to a six-wicket win and a series victory over New Zealand in Wellington.
India sewed up the five-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series on Tuesday with two games to spare, chasing down New Zealand’s total of 198 in just 13.2 overs, with Abhishek blasting 113 and Sooryavanshi 45.
The opening pair’s 133-run partnership in just 7.1 overs obliterated the New Zealand bowling attack with one of the most destructive partnerships in T20I history.
“Getting 100 in five overs – I have not seen that before at the international level,” India captain Shreyas Iyer said.
