The Men in Blue batted first in the final ODI, after losing the toss for the third consecutive game. The New Zealand pacers utilized the bowling-friendly conditions on the offer to constantly trouble the Indian openers.
Shubman Gill and Shikhar Dhawan tried to weather the storm by playing watchfully, and the visitors got off to a sedate start. But Adam Milne (3/57) broke the opening stand in the ninth over by dismissing Gill (13 off 22 balls).
Skipper Dhawan (28 off 45 balls) also departed soon after, failing to convert his start.
With conditions favorable to pace bowling, the situation demanded the batters display some patience and build a partnership. However, Rishabh Pant (10) did not do that as he played a rash shot to depart in the 21st over, leaving his side in a heap of trouble.
Deepak Hooda and Suryakumar Yadav soon followed him back to the pavilion. Shreyas Iyer (49) looked solid during his stay at the crease but could not bail his side out of a tricky situation.
Washington Sundar (51 off 64 balls) hit a magnificent half-century in the lower order and carried his side to 219. Daryl Mitchell and Milne scalped three wickets apiece, while Tim Southee bagged two.
