Mt. Maunganui (New Zealand), Feb 11:
In a stunning reversal of fortunes, an underwhelming India suffered their first ODI series whitewash in more than three decades as New Zealand completed a 3-0 sweep with a five-wicket victory in the third match here today.
It is the first whitewash for India in 31 years in a series in which all matches have been played. They were beaten 5-0 by the West Indies back in 1989 in an away assignment.
This came within days of India sweeping a five-match T20 series.
“They (New Zealand) played with a lot more intensity after the T20 series. They deservedly won 3-0,” said India captain Virat Kohli after the shocking turnaround for both the sides. (PTI)
