The 28-year-old took four for 20, held a catch off the bowling of Shane Bond to dismiss Harbhajan Singh and ran out opposite number Mahendra Singh Dhoni as New Zealand comfortably defended the 191 they had set the Indians.

Dhoni won the toss and put the Kiwis in to bat, but after a bright start in which opener Brendon McCullum hit 45 despite the early loss of partner Lou Vincent, they slumped to 91 for five.

However, a belligerent partnership of 73 between Craig McMillan (44) and Jacob Oram (35) set the tone for a rousing finish as New Zealand plundered 88 runs from the last five overs.

India started brightly in reply as Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag out on 76 for the first wicket.

However, Vettori sent Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Dinesh Karthik and Yusuf Pathan back to the pavilion in quick succession to set the stage for victory.
