New Zealand sealed a one-day series win over India by recording a seven-wicket victory on Tuesday, with Ross Taylor scoring an unbeaten 112 to lead the hosts to a seven-wicket win with 11 balls to spare.
Taylor's ninth one-day international century, compiled in 110 balls with 14 boundaries, comfortably steered New Zealand past India's total of 278-5, and gave New Zealand a 3-0 series lead with one game remaining.
New Zealand has recorded consecutive series victories over the West Indies and India, boosting its hopes of a strong showing in next year's World Cup, which it co-hosts with Australia.
Taylor shared partnerships of 130 with Kane Williamson (60) and an unbroken one with captain Brendon McCullum (49 not out), who hit a six off the first ball of the penultimate over to complete the win.
New Zealand had made a dashing start, racing to 50 in seven overs with 10 fours and a six but the loss of openers Jesse Ryder (35) and Martin Guptill (35) in the space of five balls threatened to derail their run-chase.
