WATCH: Matt Henry destroys India with triple-wicket maiden as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer fall for ducks

India suffered a stunning collapse at the start of their 334-run chase against New Zealand in the fourth ODI at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday, November 13. New Zealand pacer Matt Henry produced a sensational opening over, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer without conceding a run.

Chasing 334 after New Zealand posted 333 in their 50 overs, India could not have asked for a worse start. Henry struck with the very first delivery of the innings, getting Rohit Sharma to edge the ball to Finn Allen at first slip. The Indian opener departed for a golden duck.

Virat Kohli walked in at No. 3 but could not make an impact either. After keeping out the first three deliveries he faced, Kohli was bowled by Henry with a delivery that stayed low and crashed into his stumps. The former India captain also returned to the pavilion without scoring.

The damage continued as Shreyas Iyer, leading India in an ODI for the first time, became Henry's third victim of the over. The right-handed batter was struck on the pads while attempting to play the delivery. The on-field umpire initially turned down the appeal, but New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner opted for a review. The decision was overturned after the replay showed the ball was hitting the middle stump. Henry thus completed a remarkable triple-wicket maiden, leaving India three down without scoring after the opening over.

India lose four wickets early in 334-run chase

New Zealand continued to put pressure on the Indian batting line-up after Henry's stunning start. Kyle Jamieson struck from the other end, dismissing Ruturaj Gaikwad for five. The Indian batter edged the delivery towards second slip, where Michael Bracewell took a diving catch.

India were reduced to 9/4 after six overs, with Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad's dismissal leaving the visitors in deep trouble. Kishan was among the batters left to rebuild the innings, with Axar Patel and Naman Dhir also part of India's batting options.

Will Young's century powers New Zealand to 333

Earlier, New Zealand posted 333 all out in 50 overs after being asked to bat first by India's stand-in captain Shreyas Iyer.

Will Young led the hosts' innings with a superb 125 off 108 deliveries, registering his fifth ODI century. Tim Seifert provided an aggressive start with 58 off 48 balls, while Finn Allen contributed 41.

India had entered the fourth ODI with a 2-0 lead in the series, with the third match having been washed out. The visitors needed one more victory to seal the series, but Henry's opening over put them under immense pressure in the chase.
