Racing towards a target of 190 after the bowlers sent New Zealand packing for 189 in 38.4 overs, India had reached 129 for 3 in 26 overs when the rain came down, forcing the match to be abandoned. India was declared winner by 45 runs on the DLS method. Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan made short work of the chase, keeping India on track for victory before the rain arrived. The New Zealand bowlers did get decent purchase off the pitch under the overcast conditions, but after Ajinkya Rahane's exit, effected by a Tim Southee bouncer that he pulled to Trent Boult at long-leg, Kohli and Dhawan took over with a solid second-wicket stand of 68 off 85 deliveries. The duo got some much-needed batting practice in English conditions, rotating the strike regularly and sending the occasional bad balls to the fence. Dhawan hit 40 off 59 before smacking Jimmy Neesham straight to Corey Anderson at mid-wicket. Dinesh Karthik, was a late replacement in the squad for the injured Manish Pandey and only playing because Yuvraj Singh was unwell, came out at No. 4 but was dismissed for nought after facing nine deliveries. He holed out to Mitchell Santner at mid-wicket off Boult's bowling, bringing Mahendra Singh Dhoni to the middle, much to the delight of a sizeable Sunday crowd. Dhoni entertained with an unbeaten 17 off 21 deliveries, which included two fours and a flat six over point that was tipped over the rope by Colin de Grandhomme. Soon after Kohli reached his half-century, the heavens opened up, and the umpires had to take the players off the field. No further play was possible under the conditions, and India stormed home by the DL method. Earlier, Kane Williamson won the toss and chose to bat, wanting his side to make first use of what he believed would be a decent strip to rack up runs on. The first two overs yielded 20 runs, and just when it looked like the New Zealand captain's decision was vindicated, India’s bowlers struck. Mohammed Shami sent Martin Guptill (9) back, surprising him with a sharp lifter which he drove straight to Bhuvneshwar Kumar at mid-off. Luke Ronchi continued to attack, but Williamson (8) didn't look too comfortable during his 15-ball stay in the middle. His struggle was put to an end by Shami, who returned in the ninth over to strike twice, removing Williamson and the in-form Neil Broom (0) off successive deliveries. Anderson (13) and Santner (12) lent brief support to Ronchi, but Bhuvneshwar joined the party to reduce New Zealand to 86 for 4 by the 15th over. Ronchi's lone-ranger effort of 66, off 63 deliveries with six boundaries and two sixes, ended in the the 21st over when Ravindra Jadeja went past his defence to snap his short association with de Grandhomme. Jimmy Neesham, batting at No. 8, chipped in with an unbeaten 46 off 47 balls, but could only helplessly watch as Bhuvneshwar (3 for 28) cleaned up the tail and round off a fantastic bowling performance by India. India will play Bangladesh at the same venue on Tuesday in its final warm-up game while New Zealand takes on Sri Lanka in Birmingham the following day.
