India restricted New Zealand for 238/9 after the match was halted on Monday due to rain. New Zealand continued from their score of 211/5 from 46.1 overs from the previous day. However, coming out to chase, India lost quick wickets and were 5/3 and lost half the side before even reaching 100.

However, Jadeja and Dhoni tried to steer India's chase and got the team's chase on track. The team fell agonizingly short by 18 runs at the end, largely due to the fantastic throw by Guptill.
