New Zealand ended a run of 11 successive losses against India in one-day cricket today with a decisive win anchored by opening batsman Martin Crowe.
Crowe scored only his second century in 83 one-day internationals to help New Zealand to a 108-run victory in the first match of a triangular series also including Australia.
New Zealand scored 6-246 in an innings shortened to 47 overs after a late start to allow Dunedin's Carisbrook Ground outfield to dry from overnight rain.
Crowe, voted man of the match for his 104, partnered Ken Rutherford in a 152-run fourth-wicket stand, a New Zealand record for one-day cricket.
Set a rate of more than five runs an over to win, India tumbled to 6-65 by the 13th over and the New Zealand attack finally dispatched the tourists for 138.
Apart from Workeri Raman, who put on some quick early runs, none of the Indian batsmen had the sort of grit shown by Crowe.
Moved up the order to open the batting, Crowe made his 104 from 135 deliveries, including six fours and a six. He came together with Rutherford when New Zealand were struggling at 3-66. Rutherford hit an attractive unbeaten 78 off 75 balls.
Indian pace bowler Atul Wasson picked up the wickets of captain John Wright and Andrew Jones off successive balls when the New Zealand score was 38. Mark Greatbatch became Wasson's third victim when he was caught by Ajay Sharma for 13.
The New Zealand attack, with three debutant seamers, Shane Thomson, Stu Roberts and Gavin Larsen, bowled consistently.
The bowlers were well supported in the field with Greatbatch and Wright coming up with athletic slip catches to dismiss captain Mohammed Azharuddin for 12 and opener Raman for 32.
Morrison took quick wickets with the new ball while Thomson and Larsen struck in their first overs to send India reeling. Their later recovery was only marginal as the team had fallen well behind the asking rate.
Morrison and Thomson were the home side's most successful bowlers with three wickets each. Thomson went one better in creating a run out dismissal of non-striker Manoj Prabhakar.
