New Zealand captain Kane Williamson cut a frustrated figure after the Black Caps suffered a mammoth defeat to India in the fifth and final one-day international, but the skipper hopes to learn from the experience.

The Black Caps suffered a humiliating 190-run loss in Visakhapatnam on Saturday, slumping to a 3-2 series defeat after being bundled out for just 79.

Chasing down India's 269-6, New Zealand looked comfortable at 63-2 until they lost eight wickets for 16 runs in less than nine overs.

Williamson (27), Tom Latham and Ross Taylor (both 19) were the only Kiwi batsmen to make it into double-figures.

"That's what's so frustrating, because we failed as a batting unit. The spinners of the Indian side bowled very well but I don't think it is justified to lose eight wickets for 16 runs. We need to look at some of our plans," Williamson said.

"There was turn in the pitch in some other games too but we were able to handle it better then.

"Unfortunately, sometimes the biggest, brightest lessons come from failures and defeats. I certainly hope to learn from here. It was extremely a good effort to take it to the fifth ODI but sitting here after all that, it's frustrating. The better team certainly won Saturday.

"We certainly weren't good today. No excuses. India were just the better side. They were consistent throughout the series."

The tourists had no answer for spinner Amit Mishra, who ripped through New Zealand's batting line-up, claiming a five-wicket haul.

Mishra finished with 5-18 as India put the Black Caps to the sword, with Rohit Sharma (70) and Virat Kohli (65) starring with the bat.

"I always see how I can become a wicket-taking bowler. I focus on the match ahead, and try to do well according to the match situation. If I start thinking a lot about achievements, then I'll end up putting more pressure on myself," said Mishra.

"I'm happy for all the hard work I've put in. I think it's the second series where I've played five matches continuously. Because it was the final match, there was a lot of pressure to perform well here. Feels great."
