The first ODI of the three-match series saw multiple records being broken after the Kiwi duo of Latham and Williamson hammered the Indian bowlers to share a 221-run stand.
Conway (59) and Phillips (54) had Kiwis set at 2/130. But as soon as their 86-run stand broke, NZ lost the rest of their seven wickets for just 30 runs. Siraj (4/17) and Arshdeep (4/37) were brilliant for India with their pace
New Zealand may march in as favorites going into the match but can't write off Ireland as the latter has the firepower to upset a top team like the Kiwis.
The Northern Warriors have won the Abu Dhabi T10 twice and the Kiwi is excited to be working with a successful franchise and hopes to add a third title to the trophy cabinet.
England was in a better position at 125/2 in 15 overs, but the Kiwis made a strong comeback in the final five, taking four wickets and giving away 54 runs. Buttler (73) and Hales (52) shared an 81-run stand for the first wicket. Lockie Ferguson was pick of the bowlers for NZ with 2/45
Sri Lanka bowled superbly in the first ten overs, reducing the Kiwi team to 15/3 inside the powerplay. The team had the opportunity to get rid of Glenn Phillips too but Pathum Nissanka dropped a sitter at long-off to give him a reprieve.
Phillips scored a brilliant century to help his team recover after the Kiwi team lost three quick wickets for just 15 runs. The batter scored a 61-ball century to propel his side to 167/7.
