Mount Maunganui, Nov 13 — India suffered one of the heaviest defeats in their one-day international history on Friday, bowled out for 89 in 26.4 overs as New Zealand won the fourth ODI at Bay Oval by 244 runs, according to ESPNcricinfo's match report. Chasing 334, India never recovered from a first over in which they lost three wickets without scoring a run.

New Zealand fast bowler Matt Henry, returning to the side, dismissed Rohit Sharma with the first ball of the chase for a golden duck, bowled Virat Kohli for a four-ball duck, and trapped stand-in captain Shreyas Iyer lbw for a golden duck on review — a triple-wicket maiden that left India at 0 for 3. Reports described it as the first time India had lost three wickets in an ODI innings without adding a single run. Ruturaj Gaikwad's dismissal soon after left India at 9 for 4, and they managed only 26 runs in the powerplay.

Series still in India's hands

India had led the five-match series 2-0 after wins in Auckland and Wellington, and the third ODI in Hamilton was abandoned without a ball bowled because of rain. Friday's result cuts India's lead to 2-1, so the visitors cannot lose the series, and one more match remains before the Test series begins. Iyer captained India in this match after Shubman Gill joined the Test squad, according to the Associated Press report of the toss.
