India rode on a clinical show by their bowlers and Parthiv Patel’s unbeaten half century as they crushed a hapless New Zealand by eight wickets in the fifth and final cricket one-dayer to complete a 5-0 series whitewash here today.

Stand-in captain Gautam Gambhir lost the toss but that proved to be a blessing in disguise as Indian bowlers came up with a disciplined effort to bundle out New Zealand for 103 in just 27 overs, the lowest total for the Kiwis against India in ODIs.

It was India’s second instance of a 5-0 series whitewash against any country, having achieved the feat against England in 2008-09.
