Another ODI, Another good pitch and another massacre and same result. India bt NZ again to take series 3-0. This is first time India has beaten NZ in NZ in a bilateral ODI series. It is all getting repetitive and boring. Better contest was expected between these two teams based on India’s old record here and competitive cricket usually played by NZ in limited overs game but the way pitches have changed here in last few years, it looks like going to be a one-way traffic in this series and test series later.
Virendar Sehwag played a blinder and Gambhir played an anchor role around him to make the target look real easy. Multiple rain breaks did not create any problem for them and they coasted to an easy victory. The one-but-last break occurred when 19.2 overs were bowled by NZ and had there been no further game, the match would have been declared abandoned and India would have missed out on a well deserved victory.
NZ needs to put a lot of thought on how they want to handle Indian batting machine and the way things are going they have a tough task in hand for Test series also.
