India were bowled out for 89 runs in the fourth ODI against New Zealand, losing by 244 runs after New Zealand posted 333 batting first. Matt Henry dismissed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer for ducks in the first over.
Why it matters

The fourth ODI scorecard records India's total as 89 runs against New Zealand's 333, a margin of 244 runs. Matt Henry took three wickets in the first over, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer for ducks.

Season Trajectory
The fourth-ODI defeat follows India's collapse to 7 wickets for 111 runs in the second match, which was decided via DLS. Together the two results intensify pressure on the batting order before the final ODI.
The fourth-ODI result leaves India needing to adapt its batting approach for the final match of the series. Fans tracking fantasy line-ups should note the three first-over dismissals in assessing top-order options.
The takeaway
A single over can reshape an entire innings, and the margin here shows how quickly a series can turn. Close catches and early wickets matter as much as the big totals.
