Shikhar Dhawan on way to his 68 on Wednesday Pune: India produced an all-round performance under pressure to beat New Zealand by six wickets in a must-win game and level three-match series 1-1 here on Wednesday. Pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/45) led an inspired Indian bowling effort to restrict New Zealand to a modest 230 for nine. India, who had to bounce back following their shock loss in the series opener, proved their mettle with an all-round effort. The chase was comfortable for India despite losing Rohit Sharma early for the second time in the series. After Dhawan's departure, Karthik and Hardik Pandya (30) forged a 59-run stand to secure the game for their team.
