India will take on New Zealand in the fifth and final T20I of the series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday, January 31.
This match marks India’s final T20I before the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 , which starts on February 7.
Led by Suryakumar Yadav, India has already sealed the five-match series with a 3-1 lead. However, the hosts will be keen to bounce back strongly after suffering a setback in the fourth T20I at Vizag.
Chasing a challenging target of 216 runs, India were bowled out for 165, losing the match by a hefty margin of 50 runs.
Despite winning the first three games convincingly, India struggled in the previous encounter as their batting lineup failed to handle New Zealand’s disciplined bowling attack.
On the other hand, New Zealand finally found their rhythm in the fourth T20I. After losing the opening three matches, the Kiwis delivered a strong all-round performance to register their first win of the series.
With confidence regained, New Zealand will look to end the tour on a positive note. Meanwhile, India will aim to finish the series on a high note, regain momentum before the T20 World Cup 2026.

(Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram T20I records)
The pitch at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram is known to be well-balanced, offering something to both batters and bowlers. However, conditions tend to change as the match progresses, making adaptability a crucial factor.
High-scoring games have been rare at this venue. The average first-innings score in T20I matches is around 145, largely due to the big boundaries that make clearing the ropes difficult for batters.
The pitch generally offers even pace and bounce, allowing batters to play their shots with confidence early on.
Seamers are expected to get some swing with the new ball, especially in the initial overs, though significant seam movement is unlikely.
