New Zealand humiliated world no.1 Test side India at the Basin Reserve in Wellington to go 1-0 up in the 2-match test series. Chasing a target of nine runs, Tom Latham and Tom Blundell took just 10 deliveries as New Zealand registered their 100th Test victory. On Day 4, India only managed to add 47 runs as Trent Boult and Tim Southee wreaked havoc in the Indian batting line-up in the first session. Tim Southee sent Jasprit Bumrah packing for a duck claiming his 10th five-wicket haul in the longest format of the game. This was India's first loss in the ICC World Test Championship. Tim Southee was adjudged player of the match for his total of nine wickets in the match that set up the victory for the hosts.
