New Zealand host India in the second T20I at Hagley Oval on Saturday, trailing 1-0 in the five-match series after a four-wicket defeat.
Glenn Phillips struck an unbeaten 82 off 40 balls and Finn Allen added 45 from 24, yet Sanju Samson's 67 off 33 and a 93-run opening stand with Abhishek Sharma put the chase in India's hands.
Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell pulled the contest back in the middle overs, but Shreyas Iyer's 42 and Naman Dhir's unbeaten 42 off 15 balls finished the job with two balls to spare.
India won without the rested Jasprit Bumrah, so the hosts must now find a way through the top order against a side that managed without him.
