India vs New Zealand ODI Series So Far
India registered a win in the first 2 games of the series, although both matches were affected by rain. India won the first match by 5 wickets, while they registered a close 4-run victory in the second game via the DLS method.
The third match in Hamilton was washed out due to rain. Meanwhile, in the fourth match at Bay Oval, New Zealand posted a big total of 333 runs in their 50 overs, powered by Will Young's sensational century.
India came out to bat, but it was a horrible start for the visitors as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer all departed for ducks in the first over. India offered very little resistance to the New Zealand bowlers and were bundled out for just 89 runs.
New Zealand will now look to square things up with a win in the final ODI, while India will aim to seal the series 3-1.
After the ODI series, a 2-match Test series will take place as the final segment of the tour.
