Mount Maunganui, November 13, 2026 (Nosheen): New Zealand defeated India by a massive 244 runs in the fourth One-Day International (ODI) at Mount Maunganui on Friday, as Matt Henry claimed six wickets and Will Young scored a brilliant century. Chasing a challenging target of 334 runs, India suffered a disastrous start when Henry dismissed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer for ducks in the opening over. Rohit edged his first delivery to slip, Kohli was bowled on his fourth ball, while Iyer was dismissed leg-before-wicket. India failed to recover from the early collapse and were bowled out for just 89 runs, with Ishan Kishan top-scoring with 27. Henry finished with figures of 6-27, while Matthew Fisher claimed three wickets for 31 runs. Earlier, New Zealand posted 333 runs in their allotted innings, with Young leading the charge through a magnificent 125 off 108 balls, including 14 fours and four sixes. Young was given two early reprieves after Indian fielders dropped him twice in the second over when he was batting on five. He shared an 85-run opening partnership with Tim Seifert, who scored a quickfire 58 off 39 deliveries. Young later combined with Finn Allen to add 90 runs in just 65 balls, with Allen contributing 41 off 30 deliveries. Axar Patel, Auqib Nabi and Gurnoor Brar took two wickets each for India. Despite the emphatic defeat, India lead the five-match series 2-1, with the fifth and final ODI scheduled to be played at Mount Maunganui on Sunday.
