Rana back in the attack. Phillips pulls the first ball for a single before Mitchell flicks the next through midwicket for two runs.

Mitchell walks across his stumps to scoop/swat the last ball, merely helping it over the wicketkeeper for a four to end the match in grand style.

A wonderful knock from the experienced right-batter as he carried New Zealand to a series-levelling victory with a fantastic knock of 131 from 117 balls, with 11 fours and two sixes.

New Zealand win by seven wickets with 15 balls to spare as they register their highest successful run chase in an ODI in India.

New Zealand register their first victory in an ODI in India after more than eight years, with their last win coming in October 2017 when they won by six wickets in Mumbai after which they lost their last eight games.

The seven-wicket win keeps New Zealand's hopes alive of winning their first ODI series in India. The Kiwis have never won an ODI series in India, finishing on the losing side in previous seven attempts since 1988-89
