New Zealand batter Will Young delivered an impressive performance against India in the fourth ODI at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. The right-hander made the most of two early lifelines to anchor the hosts’ innings and put the Indian bowling attack under pressure.

Young was dropped twice in the second over, with Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan failing to hold on to their respective chances. The batter made India pay for those mistakes, building important partnerships and reaching his fifth ODI century in just 88 deliveries.

Will Young makes India pay after two early reprieves

New Zealand won the toss and were asked to bat first by stand-in India captain Shreyas Iyer. Young and Tim Seifert provided the hosts with an excellent start despite the early opportunities India failed to convert, putting together an 85-run opening partnership.

Seifert took the attacking approach and scored 58 off 48 balls before departing. Young, meanwhile, continued to hold one end together as India fought back through Axar Patel and Auqib Nabi, who dismissed Nick Kelly and Dean Foxcroft to leave New Zealand at 110/2.

Finn Allen then joined Young and injected momentum with a quickfire 41 off 30 deliveries. The pair added valuable runs before Axar broke their partnership in the 31st over, with Rohit taking the catch at cover to dismiss Allen. Young remained composed despite wickets falling around him and brought up his century off 88 balls in the 32nd over.

He also survived a concussion check and an unsuccessful LBW review from India, continuing to guide the New Zealand innings alongside Michael Bracewell. New Zealand reached 265/6 after 39.4 overs, putting themselves in a strong position with 14.4 overs remaining in their innings.
