India were held to 191 in the fifth T20I against New Zealand after Adam Milne returned figures of 4/19, according to Rediff. Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan both made half-centuries, but the hosts' bowling kept India short of a bigger total.
The match is being played in Hamilton, where India's team selection has drawn criticism. Yahoo Sports reports that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was left out again, with fans directing frustration at the team management after Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson both failed with the bat.
Kishan's innings carried added significance. The Times of India reports he became the third-fastest Indian to reach 2,000 T20I runs when measured by balls faced.
The Indian Express reported that Varun Chakaravarthy then struck to give India some relief as New Zealand began their chase.
With the series reaching its final match, the result will settle the outcome of the tour. The key question is whether India's 191 proves enough, or whether New Zealand's batting line-up can chase it down in Hamilton.
