Daryl Mitchell continued his dominating run against India on Sunday, January 18, 2026, with yet another century, fourth in the last five One Day International (ODI) innings against this opposition.

This came at a time when New Zealand were looking down and out after early setbacks in the series decider clash.

He was joined by Glenn Phillips, who also struck a century, dealing in boundaries. This allowed the two to form a massive 218-run partnership that broke quite a few interesting records.

This 218-run partnership between Mitchell and Phillips marked the first occasion in ODI history where two New Zealand batters registered centuries in the same innings against India.

This is also stands as the second-highest partnership for the fourth wicket or lower against India in ODIs, only behind the unbeaten 221-run partnership between Kane Williamson and Tom Latham at Auckland in 2022.

Additionally, Daryl Mitchell’s tally of 352 collective runs in the series is now the most by a New Zealand batsmen ever in a three-match bilateral ODI series.
