India and New Zealand are set to lock horns in the third and final game of the three-match ODI series on Tuesday (January 24) at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, got an almighty scare in the opening game against New Zealand, surviving Michael Bracewell's 140 off 78 to take the lead in the series. However, the Men in Blue were clinical in the second game in Raipur.
The hosts won by eight wickets to claim the series 2-0. India chased down the target in 20.1 overs, which was their biggest victory in ODIs against the Kiwis in terms of balls remaining in the second innings. Their previous biggest win was in 2010 when they won with 179 balls left.
Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets and helped India bowl out the visitors for 108 in 34.3 overs. Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar picked up two wickets apiece, while Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav got one wicket each.
New Zealand were 15-5 in 10.3 overs before getting bowled out for 106. The run chase was pretty straightforward for the hosts. Rohit Sharma scored 51 off 50 before Henry Shipley dismissed him, while Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 40 off 53.
