India Vs New Zealand LIVE Score, 3rd T20I: Kiwis Lose Ravindra; Seifert, Phillips At Crease | NZ 17/2 (2)

Back in the side after almost, and Bishnoi makes an immediate impact with a stunning catch to dismiss Ravindra. Poor shot selection from the Kiwi batter, who tried to pull Hardik towards the leg-side. Bishnoi judged the height of the ball well and held on to it.

Hardik Pandya, take a bow!! What a catch from the all-rounder to dismiss NZ's opener Conway for just one run. The batter tried to come forward and hit it out of the park, and Hardik comes out of nowhere to grab on to the ball with two hands.

India: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah.

New Zealand: Devon Conway, Tim Seifert (wk), Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner (c), Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy.
