India edge past NZ to clinch ODI series 2-1

October 29, 2017 21:36

NZ 330-7 (50 ovs) vs India 337-6 | Scorecard

Jasprit Bumrah excelled with the ball after Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had hit centuries as India edged past New Zealand by six runs to claim their seventh ODI series win in a row, in Kanpur, on Sunday.

Chasing 338 for victory, New Zealand succumbed under the pressure towards the end as they finished on 331 for seven.

Bumrah was excellent with the ball as he picked up three for 47, while Yuzvendra Chahal also played a stellar role with the ball as he took two for 47.

This is India's seventh successive ODI series win in a row, while New Zealand are still without a ODI series victory in India.

The run out of Tom Latham (65 from 52 balls) in the 48th over proved to be the turning point in the end.

The two teams resume their rivalry in a three-match T20I series, starting with the first match in New Delhi on Wednesday, November 1.
