Harbhajan Singh's six wickets guide India to their first Test win on New Zealand soil in 33 years as the visitors spanked the Kiwis by 10 wickets in the first cricket Test to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series in Hamilton on Saturday. The Indian off-spinner produced a devastating spell to rip through the New Zealand middle-order with figures of six for 63 as the home team folded up for 279 in their second innings.
Brendon McCullum (84) and Daniel Flynn (67) stood bravely amid the ruins as the Kiwis just about managed to avoid the ignominy of an innings defeat, taking a 38-run lead. The Indians rattled up the required runs in 5.2 overs to wrap the Test, just before close of play, with a full day to spare.
Sachin Tendulkar was awarded by Man of the Match for his 160 Runs in First inning.
