At 131 for 6, New Zealand was in trouble, but Michael Bracewell's amazing 140 helped them get very close to the finish line. The margin of defeat for the visitors was only 12 runs.
However, India's pace battery completely destroyed New Zealand in the second ODI. The visitors, led by Tom Latham, were bowled out for 108 thanks to Mohammed Shami's three-wicket haul. India reached the mark in just 20.1 overs thanks to a fifty from captain Rohit.
India has been a powerful force in ODIs played at home, as evidenced by their 3-0 blanking of Sri Lanka at the start of the new year.
