207
India endured a humiliating seven-wicket defeat to New Zealand on Friday at Eden Park in Auckland to go 1-0 down in the three-match ODI series. The Men in Blue failed to defend a challenging total of 307, courtesy of a magnificent 221-run fourth-wicket partnership between Tom Latham and Kane Williamson.
Coming to chase a stiff target, New Zealand were reduced to 88/3 after 19.5 overs, with debutant Umran Malik (2/66) and Shardul Thakur doing the damage for India. Williamson and Latham took charge from there on before eventually taking their side past the finishing line with 17 balls to spare. In the process, the Kiwis completed their second successful 300+ chase in ODIs against India.
Earlier in the innings, Shreyas Iyer (80 off 76 balls) and Shikhar Dhawan (72 off 77 balls) starred with the bat for India's 306/7 after Williamson asked them to bat. Shubman Gill chipped in with handy contributions as well, scoring 50 off 65 balls while Washington Sundar's breezy 16-ball 37 not out helped them go past 300. For New Zealand, Lockie Ferguson and Tim Southee did the most damage, taking three wickets apiece.
What is this!
Can't we defend 300+ score as well?

Poor Cricket
We still can't beat NZ in NZ in ODIs and ICC events

Highest score
Tom Latham registers the highest individual score by a New Zealand player against India in ODIs.

One of the best sides in the 50-over format at the current time.
Stop experimenting
Can we stop this Chahal experiment . It's absolutely impossible for him to take wickets against set batsman. He is completely predictable and not a threat anymore.

What a record!
IND against NZ in last 5 ODIs- L, L, L, L, L

Too many Ls there 🥱🥱🥴
Not this than what?
300 is not a winning total anymore in ODIs.

Don't know this!
Is our bowling weak or agressive captaincy missing? 🤔🧐🙊

Grooming needed
The NZ made a mockery of the Indian bowling in ODI format!
— 👑 B🇮🇳 🏐 𓃵 (@bhushanshende)
Once again it’s proved that how poor is our grooming with respect to bowling!
What to score then!
Such short boundaries..have wondered how 400 isn't being scored here in the ODIs so far.
