The 5th T20I between New Zealand and India lands at Seddon Park on Sun 1 Nov, 6:00 pm AEDT, with both sides looking to close out the series on a high. After dropping three consecutive T20Is to India, New Zealand bounced back strongly on Friday with a massive 259/7 display. If you are looking for top-tier cricket tips ahead of Sunday's action, the latest form lines and head-to-head statistics offer a clear picture of how this clash shapes up.
Who Takes Out The Series Finale?
The number that jumps off the page is India's success against New Zealand across recent encounters. Prior to Friday's match where India made 172/9 chasing 260, the tourists put together a impressive three-game winning streak over the Kiwis. Across that stretch, India successfully chased down targets of 226, 181, and 199. Sitting at 1.71 in head-to-head betting, India rate a real chance to recover instantly from their last-start defeat.
New Zealand enter off a dominant 87-run victory on October 30, but that remains their only victory in their last four home matches after losing three straight to India between October 22 and October 27. With New Zealand currently offered at 2.15, the numbers say India's head-to-head record of four wins in their last five meetings against the Kiwis gives the visitors the statistical edge.
