Matt Henry bowls India out for ducks in Powerplay; India chase 334 in 4th ODI
· Sports · Sportstar, Indian Express
In the fourth ODI at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand pacer Matt Henry produced a historic opening over, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer for ducks. Rohit and Shreyas recorded golden ducks, while Kohli fell for a four-ball duck during India's 334-run chase. Henry's triple wicket maiden over featured sharp seam movement and nip-backers, marking only the second instance of three or more wickets in the first over in ODI history, after Chaminda Vaas's four-wicket over in 2003. Earlier, New Zealand had posted 333 all out, propelled by a Will Young century. India trails the five-match series 2-0, with the third ODI washed out due to rain. New Zealand leads the series 2-0 after four ODIs.
Why it matters
The unprecedented Powerplay collapse derails India's chase and deepens their series deficit, putting immense pressure on the batting lineup ahead of the series decider.
