The New Zealand cricketers have been beaten by 30 runs by an Indian Board President's XI in their tour opener in Mumbai.
Batting first, the hosts amassed 295 for 9 from their 50 overs on Tuesday, with Trent Boult the pick of the bowlers taking 5 for 38 from nine overs.
The Black Caps were then dismissed for 265 in in the 48th over, with wicketkeeper Tom Latham top-scoring with 59 and captain Kane Williamson making 47.
Spinner Todd Astle left the field with a groin injury after just three deliveries of his first over and could be in doubt for the series.
New Zealand play their second warm-up match tomorrow.
