Shami managed to pick two early wickets while New Zealand stood at 56/6 after the collapse. Hardik Pandya, who picked two wickets dismissed Devon Conway with a stunning caught and bowled.
Two 40-odd runs partnerships helped the Blackcaps to cross the 100-run mark. Glenn Phillips tried with his 36(52) but failed to get his side to a fighting total.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill again had a fifty-plus partnership to get India to a good start. Rohit Sharma’s 51 off 50 was the catalyst in the short chase.
