India vs New Zealand 5th ODI highlights: Rohit's side win match by 35 runs, clinch series 4-1

India won the toss and chose to bat in the final ODI in Wellington and they got off to a disastrous start as they lost Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, MS Dhoni and Shubman Gill cheaply. It took a 98-run stand between Vijay Shankar and Ambati Rayudu to steady the innings. Vijay Shankar was run-out for 45 but Rayudu batted brilliantly, going past his 10th fifty and he looked good for a century. He shared yet another fifty-plus stand with Kedar Jadhav but Matt Henry took four wickets as Rayudu was denied a century. However, Hardik Pandya smashed 45 off 22 balls including five sixes as India reached 252 in Wellington. In response, New Zealand lost wickets at regular intervals and despite some solid knocks from Kane Williamson and Tom Latham, New Zealand struggled. An attacking 44 from James Neesham needed some brilliant work from MS Dhoni and New Zealand lost by 35 runs, losing the five-match series 1-4. (SCORECARD)
