	Match Scorecard
Man of the Match: Y Singh	MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai (10 Dec,2010)

New Zealanders were facing their second successive white wash and losing wicket in the 1st over was not the best of starts. 2 more wickets fell before How and Styris took them to 69/3 after 17 with COW of 41%. But the India spinners picked 7 wickets as the Kiwis collapsed to just 103 in 27 overs with COW of 30%. If India were expecting a cakewalk they were in for a rude shock as they were soon 16/2 after 4 but low target meant their COW was still at 70%. Parthiv and Yuvraj ensured there were no further trouble as they remained unbeaten on 56 and 42 respectively as India cruised home in 22nd over to win the series 5-0.
