series
GUWAHATI, India (AP) --- Opener Abhishek Sharma hit a whirlwind 68 not out off
20 balls as India beat New Zealand with ease, winning the third Twenty20 match
by eight wickets on Sunday with 10 overs to spare.
India took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
Sharma reached his 50 off only 14 deliveries, including four sixes, and put on
102 off 40 balls with skipper Suryakumar Yadav (57 not out off 26) as India
reached 155-2 in 10 overs in reply to New Zealand's 153-9 in 20 overs.
Jasprit Bumrah returned for India and took 3-17 in four overs as New Zealand
was restricted to a sub-par score.
Glenn Phillips top-scored for the Black Caps with 48 off 40 and Mark Chapman
was out for 32.
India won the first T20 in Nagpur by 48 runs, and the second T20 in Raipur by
seven wickets.
The fourth T20 is at Visakhapatnam on Wednesday.
