India were 246 for 4 in 43.4 overs against New Zeland in the first one-day international cricket match in Guwahati, when reports last came in. Yusuf Pathan on 11 and Virat Kohli on 12 were at the crease. Earlier New Zealand won the toss and elected to field. India has a chance to regain the second position in the ICC ODI Championship table. Currently Sri Lanka is in the second spot with 118 points one ahead of India but a win in the series by any margin against New Zealand will see India upstage the islanders. A 5-0 win for India will put it on 121 ratings points seven behind Australia who currently top the table. And even if Sri Lanka register a 5-0 win over West Indies in their upcoming ODI series, they will have to sit out in the third position. But if India lose the series 0-5 to New Zealand it will see them drop to the fifth spot. However, a 2-3 series defeat will see India drop down fourth on 114 points while New Zealand will rise to the sixth position on 101 points.
