India's opening pace attack dismantled New Zealand's top-order momentum at the Hnry Stadium following an advantageous toss. Arshdeep Singh began the match with a scoreless maiden over against Will Young before his new-ball partner struck immediately. Auqib Nabi captured his first career ODI wicket by removing Tim Seifert for a five-ball duck thanks to a diving mid-on catch from Anshul Kamboj. Despite Henry Nicholls arriving at the crease, the hosts were relentlessly constrained to a mere 7 for 1 through the opening five overs.
