In a dominant performance at Mount Maunganui, New Zealand's Matt Henry dismantled India's top order, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer all without scoring as the hosts shattered India by 244 runs in the fourth ODI.

India's rebuild remained a distant dream as Ishan Kishan scored 27 runs.
