India bowled out New Zealand for 190 in 43.5 overs in the first one-day international (ODI) in Dharamsala on Sunday.

Debutant medium-pacer Hardik Pandya and Amit Mishra took three wickets each while Tom Latham (79 not out) and Tim Southee (55) put on 71 runs for the ninth wicket to give some respect to the visiting total.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss earlier and elected to bowl in the first ODI against New Zealand.

The hosts, who last week completed a 3-0 whitewash in a Test series against the Black Caps, have handed allrounder Hardik Pandya his ODI debut.

New Zealand have been bolstered by the return of paceman Tim Southee and big-hitting batsman Corey Anderson.

Skipper Kane Williamson, who decided to go with three quicks and two spinners in the starting lineup, has rested pacers Trent Boult and Matt Henry for the match in the picturesque Himalayan hill station.

India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra, Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav.
