Paceman Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/45) led an inspired Indian bowling effort to restrict New Zealand to a modest 230 for nine. New Zealand suffered a disastrous start as Kumar and Bumrah wreaked havoc by removing their first three batsmen inside the opening seven overs. Kumar gave perfect start to India by removing the opening duo of Martin Guptill (11) and Colin Munro (10) quickly. Munro, who hit a towering six during his brief stay, was the next to depart as Kumar went through his defence. Brief ScoresNew Zealand: 230 for 9 in 50 overs (Henry Nicholls 42, Colin de Grandhomme 41; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 3/45).
