CRICKET – Will Young hit a century and Matt Henry took six wickets as New Zealand sealed a dominant 244-run victory by bowling India out for 89 in the fourth one-day international in Mount Maunganui yesterday to remain afloat in the series.
The hosts trail India 2-1 and can no longer win the five-match series, but they can avoid defeat if they win the final match at the same venue on Sunday.
The third match was abandoned due to rain.
Chasing 334 for victory, India got off to a disastrous start as paceman Henry ripped through their top order in a lethal first over, taking the wickets of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer to leave the visitors reeling on 0-3.
