Hardik Pandya took a splendid one-handed low return catch to dismiss Devon Conway (7). Shami bowled Finn Allen for a five-ball duck and later accepted a return catch from Daryl Mitchell (1). He was out lbw to Henry Shipley (1-29). Unfortunately just one of those days where everything that India did turned their way. Sharma scored his half-century off 47 balls, including seven fours and two sixes. The Indian pacers put up a stunning display to bowl out New Zealand for 108 runs (34.3 overs).

Black Caps make worst start to an ODI innings, 11th-lowest total as ... (Stuff.co.nz)

At Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur: Black Caps 108 all out in 34.3 overs (Glenn Phillips 36; Mohammed Shami 3-18) lost to India ...

The last three ODI World Cups have been won by the team hosting the final and after a match like this, it’s easy to see why India will be heavy favourites to make it four in a row in November. Phillips was the main man for New Zealand, but that’s not saying much. At the end of the 30th over, the Black Caps had reason to feel good about their rescue effort, having added 88 runs in just under 20 overs while losing just one further wicket.

Black Caps' top six batters have had fortnight to forget in Pakistan ... (Stuff.co.nz)

ANALYSIS: Being reduced to 15-5 as India claimed a series win was the lowest point in a tough two weeks for the batting group.

The top order’s struggles come with time running out with regard to selecting the Black Caps’ squad for the Cricket World Cup in India in October and November. The last five Black Caps ODIs before the World Cup squad is chosen will be in Pakistan in April and May – and they are set to be without their Indian Premier League players for them.

In his six innings since he was promoted to bat at No 4, Mitchell has scored 93 runs at an average of 15.5 and he, more than anyone, would benefit from making runs in the dead rubber against India on Tuesday in Indore.

Cricket: Black Caps' top order hits new low against India as World ... (New Zealand Herald)

It was just one of those days, according to captain Tom Latham. The Black Caps batsmen will have to hope there aren't many more on their next trip to India.

Henry Nicholls was the second to fall, continuing his recent struggles with the bat by scoring two from 20 balls. “India put us under a lot of pressure and we weren’t able to overcome that. A rapid 40 from Finn Allen had been the only contribution of note as New Zealand fell to 131-6, but much worse was to come. We weren’t able to absorb that pressure and wickets just kept falling.” It was just one of those days, according to captain Tom Latham. But the two batting efforts weren’t as dissimilar as those disparate numbers might suggest.
