McMillan faced 23 balls and hit four boundaries and two sixes. The other major contributors were Nathan Astle (31 off 17 balls) and Craig Spearman (22 off 15).

Hrishikesh Kanitkar bowled best for India with three wickets for the loss of 31 runs in three overs.

Sunil Joshi, a left-arm spinner, bowling the penultimate over, sent a shiver through the New Zealand batting by taking a wicket with the first delivery, then conceding a run and no runs from the next four deliveries for overall figures of one for 20.

New Zealand needed three runs to win off the last ball by Rohan Gavaskar. McMillan promptly stepped in and hit a six to put the issue beyond any doubt.Following is the schedule for theother matches: Australia vs South Africa, Pakistan vs India and Australia vs New Zealand.
