New Zealand vs India, 2nd Match at Bulawayo, Aug 26 2005 - Match Result
In the end bit of an anti-climax there as the match was looking as if it will go down to the wire
It was a thoroughly professional performance from the Kiwis, Bond bowled like a champion defending a small total and took the game away from the Indians with an accurate and ruthless spell
Pathan and Yadav put up a fighting 9th wicket partnership but in the end it was too little too late
