AUCKLAND: India's score of 306 for 7 on a small Eden Park ground was just about par and the credit for that goes to New Zealand bowlers for their display during powerplay and middle overs, centurion Tom Latham said after his team's easy seven-wicket victory in the opening ODI on Friday.
Latham smashed 145 not out off 104 balls and shared a 221-run unbroken match-winning stand with skipper Kane Williamson (94 not out) as New Zealand won in 47.1 overs.
