How Did India Win the 1st ODI Against New Zealand?
In the first game, the hosts New Zealand were completely outplayed by the Indian bowling attack, especially Anshul Kamboj who picked up 2 wickets while giving away 22 runs in 10 overs. None of the New Zealand batters managed to get going.
India then produced a strong batting performance in the rain-affected match. Virat Kohli's brilliant half-century helped the visitors chase down the revised target and register a 5-wicket victory under the DLS method.
