The Men in Blue looked all but certain to end up with a score in excess of 400. However, that wasn't to be as the Kiwis picked up wickets at regular intervals.Virat Kohli (36 off 27), Ishan Kishan (17 off 24) and Suryakymar Yadav (14 off 9) got off to decent starts, but couldn't convert them into big scores. A rearguard action from Hardik Pandya (54 off 38) and Shardul Thakur (25 off 17), who shared a 54-run partnership, helped India post 385/9 in their 50 overs.The Kiwis will need a good start as they look to pull off this massive chase on a small ground with a fast outfield.New Zealand (Playing XI): Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (c/wk), Glenn Phillips, Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner, Jacob Duffy, Lockie Ferguson, Blair Tickner.India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Umran Malik, Yuzvendra Chahal.
