India (IND) Vs New Zealand (NZ) Live Cricket Score, 5th ODI: New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to bowl first against Shreyas Iyer’s India.
India’s batting lineup, especially Rohit Sharma’s form, will be under the scanner as India take on New Zealand in the 5th and final ODI at Mount Maunganui on Sunday. This is the same venue where the Men in Blue were skittled out for 89 on Friday while chasing 334.
In that match, India were 0/3 in the first over of the chase with Rohit, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer all back in the hut after scoring ducks. Ruturaj Gaikwad did not last long, scoring 5 with India down 9/4 at one point. Ishan Kishan and Axar Patel tried to steady the ship, but after they departed, India suffered another collapse and were all out for 89.
Matt Henry took 6 wickets for 27 runs there, but he will not be playing the 5th match due to the pacer getting released from the ODI squad to prepare for the upcoming Test series. India, meanwhile, will also have to contend with in-form seamer Gurnoor Brar, who was also called up to the Test squad.
