GUWAHATI: India secured a convincing 40-run victory in the first one-day international against New Zealand on Sunday, as Virat Kohli scored 105. India's total of 276 looked enough, and New Zealand were out of contention at 169 for 8 after 36 overs before a quick ninth-wicket partnership of 67 between Nathan McCullum and Kyle Mills offered them a glimmer of hope. But McCullum's dismissal in the 45th over allowed India to finish as the easy winners in gloomy conditions at the Nehru Stadium in Guwahati. Kohli's century was the highlight of the game, with the right-handed number three scoring 100 off 100 balls before falling to Andy McKay, New Zealand's most effective bowler, caught by Jamie How in the 43rd over. McKay pinned India back with four wickets for 62 runs, as the hosts' stand-in captain Gautam Gambhir scored 38 and Murali Vijay and Yusuf Pathan both chipped in with 29. India's regular captain M.S. Dhoni was rested along with other top stars such as Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh for the start of the five-match series. New Zealand's regular captain Daniel Vettori was also missing due to back stiffness following the three-game Test series between the teams, which India won 1-0 with victory in Nagpur. Ross Taylor took over Vettori's post, and top scored with 66 as his side struggled to keep up with the required run rate of 5.66 an over. Wicketkeeper and explosive opening batsman Brendon McCullum was also absent from the touring side with back trouble, with Gareth Hopkins taking over duties behind the stumps. New Zealand had won the toss and elected to bowl as they took into account the Guwahati ground's reputation as a tricky track to bat on early in the day. |
