Matt Henry Takes 6/27 and Player of the Match as India Collapse to 89 in 4th ODI

New Zealand pacer Matt Henry took 6 for 27 in the fourth ODI against India at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday, November 13. He was named Player of the Match. New Zealand won by 244 runs after India were bowled out for just 89 in 26.4 overs.

Henry bowled 9.4 overs and took the new ball. He gave away only 27 runs. His economy rate was 2.80. He bowled two maidens as well. India had been set 334 to win. Henry made sure they never got close.

The damage came in the very first over. Henry had Rohit Sharma caught by Finn Allen for a duck off the first ball. He then bowled Virat Kohli for a duck. His next ball trapped Shreyas Iyer lbw, also for a duck. India were 0 for 3 after six balls. It was a chase that was over before it began.

Kyle Jamieson picked up Ruturaj Gaikwad and India were 9 for 4. Ishan Kishan and Axar Patel then tried to rebuild. They added 44 runs. Henry came back and bowled Kishan for 27. It was the top score of the Indian innings. India were 61 for 6.

Henry was not done. He also bowled Kuldeep Yadav for 1. He then bowled Gurnoor Brar for 2 to end the innings. That was his sixth wicket. Five of his six wickets were bowled or lbw. The other was the catch by Finn Allen that removed Rohit.

He had good support from the rest of the attack. Matthew Fisher took 3 for 31. He removed Axar Patel, Naman Dhir and Auqib Nabi. Jamieson was exceptional with 1 for 12 in six overs, with two maidens. India's first-over collapse left them with no chance.

New Zealand had set up the win earlier. Will Young scored 125 and Tim Seifert made 58. They put on 85 for the first wicket. The hosts finished on 333 for 10.

The win cuts India's series lead to 2-1. The fifth and final ODI is on Sunday, November 15, at Bay Oval.
