The tournament hosts have won by 31 runs in Birmingham after restricting India to 306 for 5 in pursuit of 338 to win.
Morgan says the tone of the match was set by openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow.
He says Bairstow then going on to get a hundred and building partnerships was just excellent.
The result means New Zealand can still miss out on the semi-finals.
The Black Caps need either a win against England on Wednesday, or ensure they have a better net run rate than Pakistan or Bangladesh.
