WELLINGTON: Tom Latham and Colin de Grandhomme ensured New Zealand did not waste a solid foundation from their top order to beat India by five wickets in the third one-day international at Bay Oval in Mt. Maunganui on Tuesday and seal a 3-0 series sweep.

Latham scored a composed 32 not out while de Grandhomme's aggressive 21-ball half century took New Zealand to 300-5 in 47.1 overs after KL Rahul's fourth ODI hundred had guided India, the World No.1 side in Test and the World No. 2 side in ODI, to 296-7.
