NZ tour: Matt Henry effect may continue to haunt India
Matt Henry celebrates after taking the wicket of Virat Kohli in Tauranga, 13 Nov

  • India suffer their second-heaviest ODI defeat, folding for 89 in 26.4 overs.

  • Matt Henry takes six wickets for 27 runs, including a triple strike in the first over.

  • Will Young scores a career-best 125 as New Zealand post 333 and keep the series alive.

0/1 (Rohit Sharma, 0.1 over)

0/2 (Virat Kohli, 0.5 over)

0/3 (Shreyas Iyer 0.6 over)

It was a fall of wickets that India had never endured in their 55-year history of playing ODI cricket — and the scars of the humiliation at Mount Maunganui may haunt the Men in Blue for some time to come.

The 244-run defeat against the Kiwis, who kept the series alive by pulling one back in emphatic fashion, is India's second-heaviest loss in ODIs in terms of runs. The worst remains the 245-run rout against Sri Lanka in 2000.

The record books will remind critics that an Indian batting line-up comprising the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Vinod Kambli and Yuvraj Singh had fared even worse when it folded for 54 (yes, that's right) while chasing Sri Lanka's 299 in the ICC Champions Trophy in Sharjah.

The conditions at the desert venue, where a certain Chaminda Vaas had wreaked havoc with a haul of 5-14, and those at Bay Oval this morning were chalk and cheese. But the degree of humiliation was no different. Matt Henry, whose magical triple strike in the first over reduced India to 0-3 for the first time in their ODI history, finished with figures of 9.4-2-27-6. The right-arm quick also claimed the final wicket, dismissing Arshdeep Singh as India folded for 89 in 26.4 overs.
