1st ODI: Tom Latham-Ross Taylor record stand helps New Zealand thrash India at Wankhede

New Zealand rode on brilliant knocks from Tom Latham and Ross Taylor to a comprehensive six-wicket victory over India in the first One-Day International (ODI) at the Wankhede Stadium here on Sunday.

The duo contributed a 200-run stand for the fourth wicket as the visitors overtook India's total of 280/8 with six balls to spare. This is the highest successful run-chase at the Wankhede.

New Zealand have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.

Latham, who remained unbeaten on 103, smashed the opposition bowlers all over the park to notch up eight boundaries and two sixes in his 102-ball innings.

Taylor (95) used his experience from the other end to keep the scoreboard ticking, punishing the loose deliveries.

For India, medium-pacer Hardik Pandya (1/46) was the most effective bowler.

Earlier, India rode on a patient century from skipper Virat Kohli to post 280/8 against New Zealand.

Kohli, who scored 121 runs, brought up his 31st ton in his 200th ODI. His 125-ball knock included nine hits to the fence and two sixes.

Middle-order batsman Dinesh Karthik (37), making his comeback into the side, also played an important knock.

For New Zealand, experienced pacers Trent Boult (4/35) and Tim Southee (3/73) bowled well but failed to restrict India to a low total.
