India scored 67/5 batting first, after put in by Blackcaps skipper Kane Williamson. Manish Pandey top scored for India with 17 runs, as Tim Southee and Ish Sodhi picked 2 wickets each.
The pitch was difficult to bat on and the Indian bowlers learned a lot after seeing Kiwi bowlers bowl and they executed the gaꦉme plan perfectly.
New Zealand could not found a great start in the game as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah kept the pressure on them with the help of Yuzvendra Chahal.
Colin de Grandhomme tried his best to take the visitors home, but India𓆉n bowlers proved to be too good for Kiwis.
The cricketing world went crazy, first to see ☂the match happen and then after India won the match and series.
