Indian Batting Line-up Crumbles as New Zealand Take Control

New Zealand bowlers delivered an impressive performance in the fifth ODI, restricting India to just 209 runs in 42.1 overs. Ishan Kishan and Axar Patel were the top contributors with 46 runs each. However, India's key batters failed to make an impact, with Rohit Sharma scoring 7, Virat Kohli 5, Shreyas Iyer 22, Ruturaj Gaikwad 18 and Naman Dhir 22.

Mitchell Santner, Jacob Duffy and Matthew Fisher led New Zealand's bowling attack, claiming three wickets each for Santner and Duffy, while Fisher picked up two wickets. Michael Bracewell and Blair Tickner chipped in with one wicket apiece. Their disciplined bowling effort helped New Zealand dismiss India for 209.
