New Zealand tour to India, 5th T20I: IND vs NZ, Probable Playing 11, Where To Watch, Live Streaming Details

India and New Zealand are set to face off for the final time in the five-match T20I series, with the fifth encounter scheduled for Saturday, January 31, at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. With India already securing the series 3-1, the hosts will aim to end the assignment on a high. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side dominated the opening three matches in Nagpur, Raipur, and Guwahati, showcasing superior all-round performances before suffering a rare setback in the fourth game.

In Visakhapatnam, India struggled to maintain cohesion and were comprehensively beaten by 50 runs, allowing New Zealand to register their first win of the series. The visitors, led by Mitchell Santner, finally displayed collective effort and resilience, which will boost their morale. Heading into the series finale, New Zealand will look to build on that momentum and gain valuable confidence ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026, while India target a convincing 4-1 series triumph.
