306 was not good enough:

What is wrong with Rishabh Pant:
All eyes were on Rishabh Pant, but his poor form continues even in ODIs. He is struggling to understand how to take inning forward.
Shreyas Iyer the new Mr consistent of India in ODIs:
Mr. Consistent Shreyas Iyer scored one 50. This is his 6th fifty in the last seven matches. He scored good 80 runs for team India. Iyer’s inning helped India reach 306 runs.
A glimpse of All-rounder Washington Sundar:
In the end, a good counterattack from Washington Sunder helped India get that extra runs. The young lefty scored a quick-fire 37 runs in just 16 balls.
A rare failure of Suryakumar Yadav hurts India:
Due to the opening partnership, it looked like India would reach over 350 runs. But once both opener’s wickets fell, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav failed to score in mid-session, and both got out cheaply. Thanks to Shreyas Knock, which kept India in the match.
Sanju Samson played a good inning of 36 runs but failed to take it to the last five years. If he had stayed for the previous few overs, India would have scored more than ten runs.

NZ chased down 306runs quickly:
