Opener Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan were the top contributors with individual scores of 87 and 66 respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Opting to bat, India were off to a perfect start, thanks to the openers, who forged a crucial 154 runs for the first wicket before Kiwi pacer Trent Boult gave some relief to his side, dismissing Dhawan in the 26th over.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lockie Ferguson struck soon, packing back a well-settled Rohit with India&#39;s scorecard reading 172\/2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Skipper Virat Kohli (43) and Ambati Rayudu (47) were then involved in a 64-run partnership for the third wicket. Boult gave the visitors a major blow as a thick edge off Kohli was caught at fine-led by Ish Sodhi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rayudu was then joined by Mahendra Singh Dhoni (48 not out) as the two steadily lifted India near the 300-run mark before the former fell to Ferguson in the 46th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav&#39;s (22 not out off 10 balls) fireworks then accelerated the run-rate, taking India to a good total of 324\/4 in the allotted 50 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For New Zealand, Boult and Ferguson picked two wickets each, conceding 61 and 81 runs respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief score: India 324\/4 (Rohit Sharma 87, Shikhar Dhawan 66, Tent Boult 2\/61) vs India<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
