New Zealand elected to bat and collapsed at 28/3 before Scott Styris and Ross Taylor came into the crease and scored 88 and 95 respectively this helped to push the New Zealand total to 288. India then started to bat and got of to a good start before a flurry of Indian wickets fell starting with opener Virender Sehwag, most of the batters were caught in the slip cordon. India then collapsed at 88.{{cite news|url=http://www.cricinfo.com/sl-tri2010/engine/current/match/456662.html|title=India Get thumped by New Zealand|date=2010-08-08|access-date=2010-08-08}}
