India 7-0 (3 ovs) vs NZ 242-9 | Scorecard
The Mumbai's duo of Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane walk out to open the batting for the Indians with a relatively easy chase on hand on a good batting wicket.
Matt Henry to open the bowling. Rohit defends the first two balls before hitting the third to thirdman for a single to get India off the mark.
Rahane turns the last ball to fine leg for a single to keep the strike.
Left-arm pacer Trent Boult to bowl the second over. Rahane watchful at the start, defending confidently with a straight bat, before punching a full delivery back past the bowler for a four.
Henry follows up with another good over, conceding just a single with Rohit picking one from the last ball as India reach seven for no loss in three overs.
