New Zealand bounced back from a shock defeat to South African domestic side the Warriors to earn a commanding 103-run win over India in an ICC Champions Trophy warm-up match at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom yesterday.
The Black Caps did well to reach 301-9 after winning the toss and opting to bat with opener Jesse Ryder (57 off 48 balls) and Martin Guptill (63 off 79) laying the foundation of the innings. Neil Broom contributed a superb 66 off 46 down the order.
In reply, India's top three all made starts but failed to build on them.
Abhishek Nayar put together a fighting 41 off 36 balls, but the rest of the order crumbled as they were dismissed for 198 runs in the 41st over.
