Overview
- India chased 187 with nine balls and five wickets to spare at Bellerive Oval to level the five-match series 1-1.
- Washington Sundar hit 49 not out off 23 after entering at No. 6, following Axar Patel’s 12-ball 17.
- Jason Gillespie said Sundar should bat ahead of Axar and argued Axar sits one or two spots too high in this order.
- India picked Sundar over Kuldeep Yadav for the third T20I, did not use him to bowl, and promoted him ahead of Shivam Dube.
- Glenn McGrath praised Sundar’s attitude, and Damien Fleming described Abhishek Sharma as just about India’s most important T20 batter as he leads the series in runs.
