New Zealand defeated India in their ongoing T20 series, with an explosive century from Glenn Phillips setting a record, according to reports carried by ABP Ananda and other Bengali-language outlets. The result ended India's winning run in the series, The Daily Ittefaq reported.
Coverage of the match centred on two themes: a dominant batting display by a newcomer in the Indian line-up, and Phillips' consistency for New Zealand. ABP Ananda framed the series discussion around both. bdnews24.com reported that Phillips' century came in a record-setting New Zealand win over India.
According to bd-pratidin.com, the margin of New Zealand's victory was their largest against India in seven years. The reports did not specify the format details, venue or final scores in the material available.
The series has drawn attention in Bengali sports media, with ABP Ananda also reporting on possible changes to India's eleven ahead of the fourth T20 international and publishing details on when and where that match will be played.
Attention now turns to the fourth T20 international, where India will look to respond and New Zealand will aim to build on the win.
