New Zealand script history in Indore as they clinch the 3-match ODI series 2-1 with a 41-run win in the 3rd ODI against India. This is the first time New Zealand have registered an ODI bilateral series win on Indian soil in 8 attempts over the years. Virat Kohli;s 54th ODI hundred eventually went in vain as his 124 runs failed to push India to the mammoth 338-run target set by the Kiwis on the day courtesy of centuries by Daryll Mitchell and and Glenn Phillips each. Centuries from both Daryll Mitchell and Glenn Phillips pushed the proceedings in New Zealand's favour as they got to a mammoth 337-run total during the 3rd ODI against India in Indore on Sunday. Earlier, New Zealand posted 337/8 in their 50 overs. The Kiwis started off their innings in a disastrous manner, with both openers falling cheaply in the powerplay. Arshdeep Singh struck early, removing Henry Nicholls for a golden duck in the very first over. The setback deepened when Harshit Rana dismissed Devon Conway in the second over with a brilliant delivery, leaving the Kiwis at a precarious 5/2.
At this point, Daryll Mitchell, who has been in sublime form throughout the series, took charge. He weathered the early storm, bringing up his half-century with a steady knock. Mitchell, in the midst of a purple patch, continued to anchor the innings and play smart cricket, setting the stage for a recovery. Alongside him, Glenn Phillips played a key role, stabilizing the innings with a brisk knock.
Phillips, initially cautious, took the responsibility of rotating the strike while Mitchell held firm at the other end. The pair formed a critical partnership, which not only rebuilt the innings but also began to build momentum for the Kiwis. Their partnership reached 100 runs, with both batters playing with a mixture of caution and aggression. Mitchell brought up his ninth ODI century, anchoring the middle phase of the innings. Meanwhile, Phillips was equally impressive, reaching his own century off just 83 balls, marking his second ODI hundred.
With the score at 337/8, New Zealand was in a strong position, thanks to the Mitchell-Phillips partnership. Their 219-run stand was the backbone of the innings, and it was the first time two New Zealanders had scored centuries in an ODI against India. Despite early setbacks, the Kiwis managed to post a competitive total, and India will need a strong performance from their bowlers to chase down the target.
Kuldeep Yadav and Indian bowlers struggled to make an impact, failing to break the partnership and ease the pressure on the hosts in the middle overs. However, Arshdeep and Harshit ended up with 3-fers as they did restrict the run flow to some extent in the death overs. India 2nd innings scorecard:
