Unlikely. They have changed the bowling line-up on a few occasions — Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry are injured, and Kyle Jamieson joining the side. However, with the hosts snapping their losing streak on Friday, they are more likely to stick with the combination.

Sooryavanshi played two matches in the series in place of injured Ishan Kishan and impressed in his second appearance. However, he was back on the bench as Ishan returned in the 4th T20I. Fans will be hoping to get another glimpse of the Sooryavanshi show that had taken over Wellington last week.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, benched on Friday, could be back in place of Arshdeep Singh, who can be rested ahead of the ODI series against New Zealand, which will start on Wednesday.

Shreyas Iyer has won the toss in all four matches so far and opted to bowl first each time. Even in Friday’s fourth T20I in Auckland, with the series already sealed, India chose to chase rather than use the opportunity to test their ability to defend a total. Given the experimentation throughout the series, batting first and setting a target could be one box India would want to tick before the series wraps up.

This was the first time India lost a game in this series batting second. The bowlers struggled, allowing Glenn Phillips and Michael Bracewell to capitalise on it. New Zealand set a target of 260. India lost two wickets in the first over of the chase and never recovered. Midway through the innings, India lost half their side and eventually succumbed to an 87-run loss.
