IND vs NZ 2026 4th ODI: Team India got off to the worst possible start in a chase of 334 in 4th ODI against New Zealand at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on FridayMatt Henry bowled a triple-wicket maiden over to start off the chase and more importantly sent back three Indian big guns – Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer – all for duck in the first six balls of the innings.

Indian opener Rohit Sharma was the first one to be dismissed, squared up by Henry’s first ball of the match, and edged straight to Finn Allen at first slip to depart for a first-ball duckVirat Kohli came in at No3 position and managed to tentatively keep out three deliveries but was bowled off his 4th ball with a delivery that came in and kept just a bit low for his second successive low score in the ODI series.

Shreyas Iyer, leading India for the first time in ODI cricket, was trapped in front off the first ball that he facedIyer thought that he had survived initially with umpire Kumar Dharmasena denying a ‘celebrappeal’ from Matt Henry but New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner went up for a DRS.

The review showed that the Henry delivery was crashing into the middle stump as Iyer was dismissed for a first ball duck like Rohit Sharma before him.
