New Zealand defeated India by 41 runs in the third ODI at Indore to claim their first-ever ODI series win in India. Batting first, the Black Caps posted 337-8, powered by Daryl Mitchell’s 137 and Glenn Phillips’ 106, recovering from an early 58-3 slump. India fought back with Virat Kohli’s 124 and Reddy’s 53, but successive wickets from Zak Foulkes and Arshdeep Singh limited the total to 296. Despite Kohli’s heroics, India fell short, losing the series 2-1. New Zealand’s victory highlighted a record fourth-wicket partnership and marked a historic moment in their ODI history.
