India lead the five-match series 3-1 and have already won it, with the last game at Hamilton starting at 12.30 pm.

The fifth and final match of the T20 series between India and New Zealand will be played tomorrow, November 1. Four matches have been played in the five-match series so far and India lead 3-1. India have already won the series, so the question now is whether they end it on a high by winning the last match.

The venue is Seddon Park, Hamilton. The toss will be at 12.00 pm and play will begin at 12.30 pm.

In the previous, fourth T20, New Zealand beat India by 87 runs. Glenn Phillips hit an aggressive century in that match, and New Zealand won on the strength of it. The 3-1 margin in the series came after this New Zealand win, and Phillips remains in aggressive form.

In the third match, Ishan Kishan was given a chance in place of Vaibhav Suryavanshi but was dismissed for a duck. Vaibhav had been in good form, yet why he was left out has not been made clear so far. All eyes will therefore be on whether Vaibhav gets a chance in the last match. Shivam Dube has not played a single match in the series so far and may get a chance in the final game.

Seddon Park is counted among New Zealand's most successful and popular grounds. About 10,000 spectators can watch a match here at one time. India's record at this ground in T20 cricket has not been particularly notable. India have played a total of two T20 matches here so far.

India's team is: Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Naman Dhir, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav.

New Zealand's team includes Finn Allen, Tim Seifert (wicketkeeper), Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Bevon Jacobs, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (captain), Nathan Smith, Adam Milne, Jacob Duffy and Matthew Fisher.
