Indian pacers were on the mark as the hosts bowled out New Zealand for a paltry 108 in 34.3 overs. Mohammed Shami (3/18) was the pick of the bowlers for India as the veteran pacer snared three wickets while Hardik Pandya (2/26) and Washington Sundar (2/7) accounted for two batters each. In reply, skipper Rohit Sharma scored a fifty to lead India to a comfortable win. India had won the series opener by 12 runs earlier this week.
