In the fifth T20I against New Zealand, Team India skipper Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and elected to bat first at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.

Team India's management will be expecting wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson to deliver a big knock tonight. Also, in-form Ishan Kishan, who missed out on the previous clash due to injury, has made a return to the side.
