Earlier, Mohammed Shami's four-wicket haul was the highlight of India's inconsistent bowling effort as the visitors were set a formidable target of 293 by New Zealand.
Indian bowlers pulled things back in the death overs after Corey Anderson, the man who broke the record for the fastest ODI hundred recently, threatened to run away with the initiative. The Kiwis eventually finished at 292 for seven.
Anderson hit 68 off 40 balls, his first ODI half-century after Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor put on 121 runs for the third wicket.

In the 23rd over of the innings, Williamson brought up his seventh ODI half-century, off 66 balls and hit five fours. The 100-run mark also came up for the hosts in the very same over. Despite the rotation of bowlers, India struggled to check the runs and didn't look like taking any wickets either.
In the 33rd over, things began to happen. First, Taylor brought up his 25th ODI fifty, off 70 balls and with one four. Then, Williamson was out, caught at covers by Ajinkya Rahane off Jadeja, a false-stroke played in the air.
He scored 71 runs off 88 balls, hitting seven fours and ought to be disappointed by his dismissal because he looked set for a three-figure score.
It was a wicket against the run-of-play. In fact, all the dismissals so far in the day were mistakes from batsmen rather than smart bowling, and it was proved again so when Taylor edged to Dhoni in the 37th over.
Taylor scored 55 runs off 82 balls, with just the one boundary, and became the Indian skipper's 300th ODI victim.
Dhoni is the first Indian wicket-keeper to breach this mark, in 239 matches, and the fourth overall after Australia's Adam Gilchrist (472 dismissals in 287 matches), Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara (424 dismissals in 362 matches) and South Africa's Mark Boucher (424 dismissals in 295 matches).
Taylor was the only batsman to fall in the second powerplay as Brendon McCullum and Corey Anderson took 41 runs off those five overs.
The Kiwis were clearly looking to accelerate but faced a small hitch as McCullum was smartly caught by Dhoni in the 42nd over, standing up to Bhuvneshwar.
But Anderson carried on nevertheless, twice hitting the ball out of McLean Park. He hit four sixes in all as well as three other boundaries, bringing up his first ODI half-century off 30 balls, in the 47th over.
In doing so, he put up 66 runs off 37 balls with Luke Ronchi, who scored 30 runs off 18 balls with two fours and two sixes before he was nicely caught at short third-man by a leaping Bhuvneshwar off Ishant.
While Nathan McCullum (2 runs, 5 balls) was the last man out in the penultimate over of the innings, caught and bowled by Shami, Anderson carried on without any worries and thanks to his clean-hitting, the Indian bowling bled 90 runs in the last 10 overs. Tim Southee (3 not out) was the other unbeaten batsman.
Earlier, Indian skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bowl.
