So India, aided by great bowling and good knocks by Shikhar Dhawan- 75 and Virat Kohli - 45 beat Kiwis by 8 wickets in the first ODI cricket match in Napier.
The Kiwis were bowled out for just 157 runs and India chased the required 156 (revised target - D/L) with 8 wickets remaining.
One interesting event during the match was the stoppage of play due to the harsh sunlight.
The sun was directly coming to the players' eyes making play difficult and the umpires decided to have a break in between.
