The Indian batting line-up stood exposed in slightly favourable bowling conditions as New Zealand won the warm-up match by six wickets here on Saturday.

Under overcast conditions, Trent Boult’s incisive swing bowling proved a tough test for the Indian toporder batsmen and the Men In Blue never recovered from the early collapse. They were shot out for 179 in 39.2 overs.

It was a walk in the park for the Black Caps who reached the target in the 38th over, with Kane Williamson (67) and Ross Taylor (71) in good touch.
