· Sports · Indian Express, Al Jazeera, Sportstar
New Zealand defeated India by 244 runs in the fourth ODI after bundling out the tourists for just 89 runs. Kiwi seamer Matt Henry delivered a devastating spell of 6/27 from 9.4 overs, claiming the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer for ducks in his opening over. Earlier, opener Will Young anchored the hosts' innings with a well-structured 125 runs off a batting-friendly deck, while Tim Seifert contributed 58 runs from 48 balls. The opening pair added 85 runs in 12 overs before Seifert was caught by Ishan Kishan off Gurnoor Brar. India's chase fell apart completely under Henry's pressure, leaving the visitors well short of the 334-run target.
Why it matters
The heavy defeat leaves India searching for answers in their bowling attack and top-order resilience as the series progresses.
