Seifert, Phillips take NZ home in 5th T20I; India take series 3-2

New Zealand chased down India's 191/8 with 12 balls to spare at Seddon Park, winning the fifth T20I by seven wickets on Tim Seifert's 93 and Glenn Phillips' unbeaten 65*; Adam Milne took 4-19.
India, having won the first three games, still took the series 3-2, but the back-to-back defeats in Auckland and Hamilton will sting after a 3-0 start.
Phillips' 341 runs set a record for most runs in a bilateral T20I series and earned him Player of the Series. The first ODI is at Eden Park on November 4.
