New Zealand clinched their first Test win in India since 1988, defeating the Men in Blue by eight wickets on the final day of the first Test at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Sunday, October 20. Chasing a modest 107-run target, New Zealand reached the goal in just 28 overs during the first session. Earlier, India struggled on a pitch covered for three days, posting their lowest home total in Test cricket, 46 runs.
