In the series decider at Holkar Stadium, India's chase began shakily as opener Shubman Gill departed for 23 off 18 balls. Rohit Sharma also fell early, leaving the team in a precarious position. New Zealand had previously set a formidable target of 338 runs.

New Zealand's strong total was built on brilliant centuries from Daryl Mitchell, who scored 137 runs, and Glenn Phillips, who contributed 106 runs. This partnership was crucial after New Zealand also lost two early wickets.

With India's openers gone quickly, the pressure is now on Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer to steer the home team towards victory in this crucial final ODI.
