Matt Henry 6/27 stuns India as Rohit, Kohli and Iyer all record ducks in New Zealand's 244-run win at Bay Oval

Matt Henry ripped through India’s top order to finish with 6/27 as New Zealand defeated India by 244 runs in the fourth ODI at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui on November 13, 2026. Henry began India’s chase of 334 with a triple-wicket maiden in the opening over of the second innings, removing three of the top four batsmen for ducks.

New Zealand set the target after posting 333 in the first innings, with Will Young scoring 125 off 108 balls, Tim Seifert making 58 off 48 and Finn Allen contributing 41 off 30. India’s bowlers Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar and Axar Patel claimed two wickets apiece, but most Indian bowlers were described as expensive in the source report.

Henry opened the second innings with an outswinging length that produced extra bounce to account for Rohit Sharma, who fell for a golden duck on the first ball; Finn Allen held the catch at first slip. The source included Rohit Sharma’s series sequence as 0(6)23(29)0(1).

Virat Kohli faced his first ball and was beaten before being bowled for a four-ball duck, leaving India 0/2 inside the first five deliveries. Henry mixed outswingers and an in-dipper to trap Kohli, and the pace bowler then struck again when Shreyas Iyer was hit on the pads and dismissed for a golden duck, completing the triple-wicket maiden.

Henry did not stop after the new ball; in a second spell he removed Ishan Kishan (27), Kuldeep Yadav (1) and Gurnoor Brar (2) to reach figures of 6/27 and collect his fourth five-wicket haul in ODIs. The report states Henry became only the fourth New Zealand bowler to record multiple ODI five-fors against the same opponent.

India’s chase collapsed into a heavy defeat, described in the source as a crushing 244-run loss, a result that left New Zealand still alive in the five-match series. The source framed the start of India’s innings as a disastrous collapse following Henry’s opening over.

The fifth and final ODI will be played on Sunday at the same venue, Bay Oval, with India leading the series 2-1 according to the published report.
