Henry takes six as New Zealand crush India by 244 runs in fourth ODI
New Zealand defeated India by 244 runs in the fourth men's one-day international at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday, with Will Young's century followed by a six-wicket performance from Matt Henry. According to BBC Sport's scorecard, the hosts made 333 before dismissing India for 89 in 26.4 overs, after the visitors won the toss and chose to field.
Watch the highlights:
Young scored 125 from 108 balls, hitting 14 fours and four sixes to provide the largest contribution to New Zealand's innings. Tim Seifert added 58 from 48 deliveries, including six fours and three sixes. The opening partnership produced 85 before Seifert was caught by wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan off Gurnoor Brar at the end of the 12th over.
India then removed Nick Kelly for four and Dean Foxcroft for eight, leaving New Zealand 125 for three. Finn Allen's 41 from 30 balls helped lift the total to 215 before his dismissal. Young was eventually caught off Naman Dhir with the score on 256. Further contributions included Mitch Santner's 24, Kristian Clarke's 22 and an unbeaten 19 from Kyle Jamieson as New Zealand used all 50 overs. Axar Patel took two for 39 from his 10 overs; Brar and Auqib Nabi also claimed two wickets each.
Henry immediately transformed India's pursuit of 334, taking three wickets in the opening over without a run on the board. Rohit Sharma was caught by Allen from the first delivery, Virat Kohli was bowled from the fifth and captain Shreyas Iyer was trapped leg before from the sixth. All three departed for ducks. Jamieson subsequently removed Ruturaj Gaikwad for five to leave India nine for four.
Kishan and Patel took India to 53 before Matt Fisher dismissed Patel for 21. Kishan's 27 from 53 deliveries was India's highest score, but Henry bowled him with the total on 61. Dhir also made 21, striking two sixes, while Fisher added the wickets of Nabi and Dhir to finish with three for 31 from seven overs.
Henry completed figures of six for 27 from 9.4 overs, including two maidens, after also bowling Kuldeep Yadav and Brar. Jamieson conceded only 12 runs in six overs and took one wicket. India's innings ended with Arshdeep Singh unbeaten on nought, completing a result built on Young's batting and Henry's early dismantling of the top order.
