IND vs NZ 4th ODI Live: India's chase of New Zealand's 334-run target got off to a disastrous start in the fourth ODI, with Matt Henry ripping through the top order in a stunning opening over. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and captain Shreyas Iyer were all dismissed without scoring, leaving India reeling at 0/3 after just six deliveries.
The opening over at Bay Oval could hardly have gone worse for the hosts. Henry struck with the very first ball, removing Rohit before producing two more breakthroughs to leave India's batting line-up in immediate trouble.
Rohit was the first to depart, falling on the opening delivery of the chase. Virat Kohli followed on Henry's fourth ball, with the New Zealand pacer bowling the former India captain for a duck. Shreyas then became Henry's third victim of the over, also departing without opening his account.

Henry's opening spell delivered a major blow to India's pursuit of 334. Rohit's dismissal on the first ball immediately put pressure on the hosts, but the damage did not stop there.
Kohli's dismissal on the fourth delivery made the situation even worse. Henry then struck again to send Shreyas back, completing a remarkable three-wicket opening over. All three Indian batters were dismissed for ducks, with none managing to score a run.
The sequence left India with three wickets down without a run on the board. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan were left to rebuild the innings after the early collapse.
The early wickets made India's task considerably tougher after New Zealand had posted 333 all out in their 50 overs. Will Young led the visitors' batting effort with 125 off 108 balls, while Tim Seifert contributed 58 from 48 deliveries.
Finn Allen also scored 41, helping New Zealand put together a challenging total. India's bowlers had taken all 10 wickets, but the hosts now needed 334 runs to win the fourth ODI.
Henry's three-wicket burst in the first over gave New Zealand a remarkable start with the ball. With Rohit, Kohli and Shreyas already back in the dressing room, India faced an immediate test of their batting depth as Gaikwad and Kishan took charge of the chase.
