India 179-5 (20 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Southee to bowl the final over. Ravindra Jadeja takes a single from the first ball before Pandey smacks the slower knuckle ball high into the stands over long-on for a six.

Another slower ball from Southee but this time he ends up giving away a wide before Pandey takes a single.

Jadeja gets a lifeline as Santner puts down a simple catch at deep midwicket and also ends up giving away two runs. The left-hander makes it worse for Southee as he swings the next ball for a six over square leg and steals a quick bye off the last ball after he misses attempting a big hit, but India end on a high as they get 18 runs from the final over.

India finish on a healthy 179 for five in their 20 overs, with Pandey on 14 from six balls and Jadeja on 10 from 5 balls.

Opener Rohit stormed back to form with a blistering 65 from 40 balls, hitting three sixes and six fours, to give India a flying start after they were put into bat.

He laid the foundation, adding 89 runs for the opening wicket from 54 balls with KL Rahul, who stroked 27 from 19 balls.

Captain Virat Kohli made 38 from 27 balls to get India back on track after Bennett's double strike in the 11th over.
