SUPER OVER

India 20-0 (1 ov); Target to win: 18 | Scorecard

Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul to open the batting for India with 18 needed for victory.

The experienced Tim Southee with the ball for New Zealand.

Rohit swings the first ball to deep midwicket and comes across for the second after hesitation. He is struggling to make his crease but wicketkeeper Seifert fails to collect the ball.

Rohit going hard as he struggles with his timing and gets just a single.

15 needed from 4 balls for victory

Rahul walks across and sweeps a full toss behind square on the leg side for a four.

11 needed from 3 balls for victory!

Rahul dances around his crease but Southee keeps his cool with a good yorker on the stumps and the right-hander can only drive it down to long-on for one.

10 needed from 2 balls for victory!

Southee makes the guilty of bowling a length ball as Rohit smacks it over midwicket for a six.

The last ball is again pitched right up as Rohit lofts it down the ground for another six to carry India to victory.

Sensational batting from Rohit as India edge past New Zealand in the Super Over to seal the five-match series 3-0.

This is India's first-ever T20I series' win in New Zealand.
