Milne Removes Both Openers as India Stumble to 19 for 2 in Hamilton Finale

Adam Milne has removed both of India's openers inside the first four overs of the fifth and final T20I at Seddon Park in Hamilton today, leaving India at 19 for 2 after 3.1 overs.

Abhishek Sharma, who walked in 13 runs away from passing the most T20I runs by an Indian batter in a calendar year, fell for just 1 off 2 balls in the second over, caught by Daryl Mitchell off Milne as India slipped to 2 for 1.

Sanju Samson followed for 4 off 10 balls in the fourth over, caught by Michael Bracewell off Milne, as India reached 19 for 2.

Ishan Kishan and captain Shreyas Iyer are now at the crease, with India batting first after New Zealand won the toss and chose to bowl in the series finale.

India lead the five-match series 3-1 and are chasing a 4-1 finish.
