New Zealand fast bowler Jacob Duffy said late starts have been "definitely a factor" in his team's failure to defend totals after India won the first ODI by five wickets at Eden Park. New Zealand were bowled out for 185 and India reached a revised target of 143 in 32 overs after rain. It was the fourth time in five matches the hosts failed to defend a total.
