During the sixth over of the Kiwi innings, a Krunal Pandya delivery crashed into the pads of Mitchell and he was adjudged out by the on-field umpire. Even India skipper Rohit Sharma went up to the on-field umpires to check as Mitchell had stayed back in the middle even after being given the red light. Earlier, New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first in their bid to seal the series at Eden Park itself. Both New Zealand and India named unchanged teams for the fixture, with the tourists fielding eight specialist batsmen in order to exploit Eden Park’s short boundaries. India eventually won the match by seven wickets.
