New Zealand secured a record-breaking 244-run victory against the visiting Indian team in the fourth One Day International (ODI) cricket match today (13).
This marks the second-largest margin of defeat for India in the ODI format.
The largest margin of victory ever recorded against India remains the 245-run defeat they suffered at the hands of Sri Lanka in Sharjah in the year 2000.
In the match held at Mount Maunganui, New Zealand batted first and posted a total of 333 all out in their 50 overs.
In response, the Indian team was bundled out for just 89 runs in 26.4 overs.
This stands as the sixth-lowest total recorded by India in international ODI cricket. Their lowest-ever total remains the 54 runs to which they were restricted by Sri Lanka in 2000. Prominent batters Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer were dismissed for ducks, while four other batters failed to score more than 5 runs.
Ishan Kishan, the top scorer of the innings, managed to score 27 runs.
Matt Henry, whose bowling left India in a helpless position, claimed 6 wickets for 27 runs.
Nevertheless, India leads the five-match series 2–1. One match between the two sides had to be abandoned due to rain.
