Earlier, put in to bat by New Zealand, India rode on half-centuries by Shreyas Iyer (80), skipper Shikhar Dhawan<\/a> (72) and Shubman Gill (50), along with an unbeaten 16-ball cameo of 37 not out by Washington Sunder, to post a challenging 306\/7 on the board.
Sundar’s big hitting propped up India at the death and provided the flourish the visitors sought in the last five overs to take the total past the 300-run mark.
Before that, it was the 124-run opening stand between Dhawan and Gill that laid the foundation for India after initial struggle against a disciplined New Zealand pace attack. <\/p>\n\n\nThere it is! 76 balls, 14 fours, 3 sixes – @Tomlatham2’s 7th ODI hundred 🏏 #NZvIND https:\/\/t.co\/0Qe7f3LgLp<\/p>\n

India went past the 100-run mark in the 21st over. However, right after reaching his half-century, Gill got out, falling to Ferguson. It turned into a double blow when Dhawan too fell in quick succession as he hit Tim Southee<\/a> straight to Finn Allen at point. The score at that point read 124\/2.
While Pant got off the mark with a four to deep third-man region after he pushed at a Southee length ball, Iyer played the upper cut off a quick Ferguson delivery to begin his innings.
When on 11, Iyer was offered a life by Latham after the batter had attempted the ramp shot against a short Milne delivery. <\/p>\n\n\nThat’s that from the 1st ODI.New Zealand win by 7 wickets, lead the series 1-0.Scorecard -\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/MiZAWYZzqy<\/p>\n

Suryakumar Yadav<\/a> got off the mark with a cover drive for four. But two balls later, he took the long walk back, edging Ferguson to Allen at first slip.
Iyer and Sanju Smason (36 off 38 balls) then forged a 94-run partnership to steady the ship until the latter fell to a brilliant catch by Glenn Phillips.
After that it was the Washington Sundar show, as he smashed three fours and as many sixes in his 16-ball stay.
With this win, New Zealand now lead the three-match series 1-0. India had earlier won the rain-hit three-match T20I series 1-0.
