The formula worked as the duo collected 12 fours between them to take the total to 80/0 in the first 10 overs. However, the final 10 overs were a stark contrast in which New Zealand scored 61 runs for the loss of three wickets.

In the ongoing series, India have opted to field after winning the coin toss on all three occasions.
