Why New Zealand struggled against India's young pacers

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner attributed his team's five-wicket loss in the opening ODI to an inability to adjust to the unexpected pace and bounce of the pitch. While the hosts were restricted to 185 runs, Santner noted that the Indian side demonstrated superior technique in managing the conditions, particularly when facing short-pitched deliveries.

Despite the defeat, the Kiwi skipper expressed satisfaction with his bowling attack's resilience during the second half of the match.
