Captain Suryakumar Yadav cracked 63 off 30 balls, Hardik Pandya 42 off 17 and Abhishek Sharma 30 off 16 before New Zealand - whose sole win in the series came in match four at Visakhapatnam - replied with 225 all out in 19.4 overs, a total underpinned by Finn Allen's 80 from 38 deliveries.

India, co-hosts of the T20 World Cup, alongside Sri Lanka, have been grouped with Pakistan, Namibia, Netherlands and USA in round one of a tournament that runs from February 7 to March 8 and is live in full on Sky Sports.
