Ashwin claims 5th wicket as India close in on victory

October 11, 2016 16:14

NZ 138-9 (35 ovs); Target: 475 | Scorecard

New Zealand have three wickets in hand, while India have 12 overs left to complete a 3-0 series whitewash.

Ashwin completes his second five-wicket haul of the match as Patel swipes across the line but fails to make connection and is bowled for a duck.

This was similar to the Taylor dismissal as Patel tried to sweep from outside the off-stump on the leg side but missed it completely.

Just two wickets for India to complete another comprehensive victory.

Matt Henry gets an inside edge and is caught at short leg but the umpire turns down the appeal.

But Ashwin doesn't have to wait for long as Henry holes out to mid-off to be dismissed for a duck.

Superb bowling by the off-spinner as he claims six wickets in both the innings with India just one wicket away from another big win.
