\n\nGlenn Phillips continued his purple patch and remained unbeaten on 65 off just 38 balls as New Zealand chased down the target of 192 in the fifth game. Batting at a strike rate of 171.05, Phillips hit 3 sixes and 8 fours in his knock. Phillips set a world record during his knock and became the batter with the most runs in a T20I series. The right-handed batter finished the series with 341 runs. He hit one century and three fifties in the series. He hit 20 sixes and 29 fours in five innings.
\n\nPhillips broke Phil Salt's record, who scored 341 runs in the series against West Indies in 2023. Mohammad Rizwan scored 316 runs against England in 2022. He once topped the elite list. Sahil Chouhan (297) and Mark Chapman (290) follow him on the elite list.
\n\nApart from scoring the most runs in a T20I series, Phillips now also owns the record for scoring the most runs against an opposition in a year. He has 522 runs against India in 2026. He is followed by Abhishek Sharma, who has 431 runs against the Black Caps.
