Glenn Phillips Shines with Century as New Zealand Defeats India
In a remarkable performance at Eden Park, Glenn Phillips scored 107 runs off just 49 balls, helping New Zealand secure an 87-run victory over India in the fourth T20I. The match took place on Friday, where Phillips' explosive innings included six fours and ten sixes, contributing to New Zealand's total of 259/7.
Pillips entered the game after Daryl Mitchell was dismissed early, and he quickly formed a partnership with Michael Bracewell, who added 65 runs off 25 balls. Together, they amassed 115 runs in just 41 deliveries, propelling New Zealand past the 200-run mark by the 16th over. Phillips reached his century in just 46 balls, marking his third T20I century.
Despite India's earlier 3-0 lead in the five-match series, this victory allowed New Zealand to reclaim some momentum.

He is currently the leading run-scorer in the series, with 276 runs across four matches.
