Henry takes three wickets in first over of India chase

New Zealand set India a target of 334 in the fourth one-day international at Bay Oval, then Matt Henry took three wickets in the opening over of the chase as India fell to 0 for 3.

Rohit Sharma was caught at slip off the first ball, Virat Kohli was bowled after facing four deliveries, and stand-in captain Shreyas Iyer was given out leg before wicket on the final ball. Henry completed a triple-wicket maiden, leaving India without a run and under immediate pressure.

India’s collapse continued when Ruturaj Gaikwad was caught off Kyle Jamieson for five, leaving the side at 9 for 4. A later match report said India were bowled out for 89 in 26.4 overs and lost by 244 runs. That report credited Henry with six wickets; the final score and margin were not included in the earlier accounts.

New Zealand had been dismissed for 333 in 50 overs after being sent in to bat. Will Young top-scored with 125 from 108 deliveries, while Tim Seifert made 58 and Finn Allen scored 41. Reports said Young was dropped twice early in his innings. India’s leading wicket-takers were reported as Axar Patel, Gurnoor Brar and Auqib Nabi, with two wickets each.
