The fifth T20 match between India and New Zealand will be played on Sunday, November 1 at Seddon Park in Hamilton. The Indian team has won the first three matches to clinch the series. However, New Zealand won the fourth match. Now Team India will want to end the series by winning the last match. There may be some changes in the Indian playing XI for this match.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will get a chance by eliminating Sanju!

Young batsman Vaibhav Suryavanshi may get a chance in the fifth match. He batted aggressively with Abhishek Sharma in the previous match, but did not make it in the fourth match. On the other hand, Sanju Samson’s performance has not been as expected in this series. He has scored 67, 14, 18 and 4 runs respectively in four matches. In such a situation there is a discussion of giving a chance to Vaibhav by giving him rest.

Will Aqib Nabi get a chance to replace Prince Yadav?

There may also be changes in the bowling department. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has taken only one wicket in three matches and his economy rate has also been high. On the other hand, Arshdeep Singh is the only Indian bowler with an economy rate of less than 10 in this series. Aqib Nabi Dar may get a chance to replace Prince Yadav in the fifth match.

A chance to replace Akshar with Kuldeep or Varun

Kuldeep Yadav or Varun Chakraborty can be played in place of Akshar Patel in the spin department. The team management has the option to give both these spinners a chance. After winning the series, the final match can also give new players a chance to try out. However, the final decision will rest with the team management.

India’s Probable Playing XI for Fifth T20I

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shreyas Iyer (captain), Tilak Verma, Naman Dhir, Shivam Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav/Varun Chakraborty, Aqib Nabi Dar, Mayank Yadav, Arshdeep Singh.
