NZ beat Virat-led India again

India made two changes to their playing eleven – Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Shami made way for Navdeep Saini and Yuzvendra Chahal.

New Zealand made two Cha(pma)nges to the eleven that last played the Indians – Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi made way for Mark and One-day International debutant Kyle Jamieson, the player of the match.
