Hamilton: New Zealand have registered the series win over the world champions who fell to the KIwi batting prowess.
First it was the openers, who right in the first five overs, battered the Indian bowling, and later Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor’s partnership further cemented the Kiwi win.
Brendon McCullum’s blistering innings of 49 runs off 36 balls finished an excellent win for the Kiwis. McCullum fired a six off the last delivery to register their win.
India won the toss and opted to bat first in a change of strategy in the fourth one-day international against New Zealand in Hamilton on Tuesday.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said he believed his side had only been playing at “60 percent of potential” and needed a lift in the crucial fourth match.
They have made two changes, with Ambati Rayudu and Stuart Binny coming in for Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan. It will be Binny`s one-day international debut.
New Zealand has also made two changes, with Kyle Mills and Jimmy Neesham replacing frontline bowler Mitchell McClenaghan and all-rounder Corey Anderson.
