India beat New Zealand by 58 runs


CHRISTCHURCH: An unbeaten 163 by Sachin Tendulkar led India to a comprehensive 58-run win over New Zealand in the third One-Day International on Sunday and ensured they cannot lose the series.

Tendulkar, utilising his full array of textbook and improvised shots, was the stand-out figure as India scored 392 for four after being sent into bat first.

It was the highest international ODI score against New Zealand, but the Black Caps were on target to overhaul it when they reached 166 without loss before the middle order self-destructed and they were all out for 334.

The win, completed in 45.1 overs, gave India an insurmountable 2-0 lead in the series with only two matches remaining. (Reuters Photo)
