New Zealand outplay India

New Zealand batted first, and they didn't have the kind of outing they would have wanted. Daryl Mitchell was the top scorer for the team with his innings of 82 runs. Will Young (71) also supported him as the visitors posted a total of 235 runs on the board. For India, Ravindra Jadeja was the pick of the bowlers as he grabbed a fifer.

India, in response, yet again struggled to get going with the bat. Although they went past New Zealand's score, they weren't up to the mark. Shubman Gill was the top run-getter for the team as he played an innings of 90 runs. Along with him, Rishabh Pant (60) also slammed a half-century for his team.

Yashasvi Jaiswal (30) and Washington Sundar (38*) also came up with the valuable effort as India took a lead of 28 runs. The hosts then came up with a magical bowling effort in the second innings as they ended New Zealand's innings on 174 to set themselves a target of just 147 runs to chase.

India fail to chase the target of 147 runs

The panic button for India started right from the time Rohit Sharma fell for 11. After that, wickets fell like a pack of cards, and the hosts were left reeling at 29 for five. It was then that Rishabh Pant (64) stood tall for his team and stepped on the peddle, taking his team forward.

The keeper-batter slammed the second half-century of the game and took the hosts close to target but he was at the receiving end of a controversial dismissal.

After his wicket, Ravichandran Ashwin tried to support Washington Sundar but he too perished as Ajaz Patel picked another fifer and ended Indian innings on 121 to win the game by 25 runs.
