India vs New Zealand
Rain caused the toss to be delayed in the third T20I match. Then New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat. Devon Conway (59) and Glenn Phillips (54) both laid the groundwork for the Kiwis, and their partnership grew strong. However, they began to lose wickets in quick succession and were only able to score 160 in 19.4 overs. Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh of India each grabbed four wickets, while Harshal Patel of New Zealand took the last wicket.
To chase a goal of 161, Indian hitters made it obvious from the start that they would fire from the bat. However, they quickly lost four wickets. Indian captain Hardik Pandya stayed undefeated, scoring 30 runs. Deepak Hooda was also on the field when the game was halted due to rain. According to DLS, the par score at the time rains delayed the match was 75. Because the game could not be resumed, the event finished in a tie.
