New Zealand delivered a historic blow to India in the fourth One-Day International (ODI) at Mount Maunganui, securing a massive 244-run victory to keep the five-match series alive. Batting first, the Black Caps posted an imposing total of 333 runs, anchored by a brilliant century (125) from opener Will Young. In response, India suffered one of their worst batting collapses in history, getting bowled out for a meager 89 runs. Star batsmen Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shreyas Iyer all departed for ducks as New Zealand pacer Matt Henry tore through the lineup with sensational figures of 6 for 27, handing India their second-largest ODI defeat by runs.
