When the One Day series between India and New Zealand started, everyone thought it would be a great, thrilling encounter to watch. However, the first 3 Odi’s turned out to b extremely one-sided where the visitors by far and ease were the better side among the two.

Thus, it was expected to be the same in the fourth ODI as well where it was all hoped that India would yet again get a great win over the Black Caps. However, the dead rubber match turned out to be extremely anti-climatic yet a great one for New Zealand.

Team India went without regular skipper Virat Kohli (rested for the rest of the tournament) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni ( rested due to a hamstring injury). After winning the toss, New Zealand opted to bowl in conditions which were favourable to them as there was the swing in the air.

The Black Capes fully utilised the conditions as the devasting bowling from Trent Boult shattered India into pieces. India was bowled out for 92 in 31st over with Yuzi Chahal was the highest scorer with 18*. Trent Boult was by the best bowler of the day with figures of 5 for 21 in 10 overs.

In reply, New Zealand easily chased down the target in less than 15 overs with eight wickets to spare.
