Yusuf Pathan's maiden ODI century gave India their fourth straight win over New Zealand in a high-scoring affair in Bangalore.
Pathan finished on 122 not out as India chased down a target of 316 with seven balls to spare for a five-wicket triumph.
He shared an unbroken sixth-wicket partnership of 133 with Saurabh Tiwary (37no), who clinched the victory in style with a six off Nathan McCullum.
India lead the five-match series 4-0 and have the chance to complete a whitewash in Chennai on Friday.
Trouble
Pathan had walked out to the middle with India in trouble on 108-4 in the 20th over, left-arm paceman Andy McKay and off-spinner McCullum having taken two wickets each for the tourists.
