Arshdeep Singh (3 for 30) and Mohammed Siraj (2 for 50) shared five wickets as India beat New Zealand by 22 runs to clinch the five-match ODI series 3-1. With it, India has also snapped the Black Caps’ streak of seven years and 11 consecutive bilateral ODI series victories on home soil.
Chasing a modest target of 210, New Zealand was bowled out for 187. Dean Foxcroft top-scored with 31. For India, Yash Thakur too had an impressive outing, snapping one for 38 in his 10 overs.
Earlier, an enterprising 10-wicket stand worth 26 runs off just 10 deliveries between Siraj and Arshdeep had taken India past the 200-run mark. Axar Patel (46) and Ishan Kishan (46) were the only batters to make notable contributions as Jacob Duffy and Mitchell Santner claimed three wickets apiece to keep India’s batting in check.
But India’s bowlers had the final say, completing a series-clinching victory.
The focus now shifts to the two-match Test series, which gets underway in Wellington from November 19.
