Colombo, Sep 11 - India's Ashish Nehra and Yuvraj Singh bowled inspiring spells to pack off New Zealand for 155 runs in their opening One-day International match of the Compaq Cup tri-series cricket here Friday.

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori elected to bat but the batsmen kept losing wickets and the Kiwis were bowled out in 46.3 overs.

Nehra (3-24) did the damage upfront, before Yuvraj (3-31) bowled a tight spell. Rudra Pratap Singh (2-22) and Ishant Sharma (2-26) chipped in with two wickets each.

New Zealand batsmen never looked comfortable and were reduced to 66 for five at one stage.

Nehra struck with the second ball of the innings trapping Jesse Ryder leg before.
