A sensational bowling display from India's pace and spin attack guided the visitors to a tense 22-run victory over New Zealand in a low-scoring 5th ODI thriller at Bay Oval on Sunday, securing India's third-ever ODI series win in New Zealand following previous triumphs in 2009 and the 2018-19 tour.

During the chase of 210 runs, openers Tim Seifert and Will Young started carefully for the first two overs before collecting some boundaries against the pace duo of Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh in the next two overs. Siraj drew first blood, getting Seifert caught for 14 in 21 balls, with two fours at mid-on. NZ was 26/1 in 5.3 overs.
