Auckland: Finally New Zealand win fifth and last ODI at Auckland by 8-wickets. India already bag the series after winning rain interrupted 4th ODI and Hamilton.
Ishant, who had been hit for a flurry of boundaries by Ryder, had the last laugh when the opener edged a delivery onto his stumps.
The Kiwis raced to the paltry victory target of 150 runs in 23.2 overs with Martin Guptill and Ross Taylor remaining not out on 57 and 28 respectively.
Guptill got to his 3rd ODI 50 with a six off Ishant Sharma over mid-wicket. Guptill hit 2 sixes and 7 fours in his 50-ball knock.
But by then Ryder had put the Kiwis on the path of victory by smashing 4 sixes and 6 fours enroute a 49-ball 63.
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni needlessly took the bowling powerplay as Ryder and Martin Guptill brought up their 50-run partnership off 45 balls and Ryder reached his 2nd ODI fifty off 38 balls with a six off Ishant over square leg.
Earlier, India were bundled out for 149 runs in 36.3 overs in the fifth ODI against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland on Saturday.

Rohit Sharma top scored for India with an unbeaten 43 that came off 74 balls and contained a six and a four.
Once they lost their top oreder cheaply, India were always in danger of being bowled out inside 43 overs.
This was the second run out of the Indian innings as Harbhajan Singh (1) too sacrificed his wicket after refusing the second run but Rohit kept on running.
Ryder clean bowled India skipper MS Dhoni (9) and Yusuf Pathan (0) in same over to rattle India. Both Dhoni and Pathan were trying to accelerate the scoring and in the process lost their wickets.
Jacob Oram got the prized wicket of Virender Sehwag when the opener tried to pull across thee line but edged it over backward point for Brendon McCullum to take the catch. Sehwag romped to 40 off 27 balls with the help of 3 sixes and 3 fours before his dismissal.
India lost their second wicket with 65 runs on the board when Suresh Raina went for a needless shot off Oram. India lost their first wicket in the fifth over in the form of Gautam Gambhir to be at 30/1.
