India 89 all out

New Zealand won the fourth ODI by 244 runs at Bay Oval. Matt Henry’s 6/27 followed Will Young’s century as the hosts kept their hopes of a drawn series alive.

The IND vs NZ 4th ODI result delivered a dramatic setback for India on Friday, November 13, 2026. Chasing 334 at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, India were dismissed in 26.4 overs. New Zealand’s commanding victory reduced India’s lead in the five-match ODI series to 2–1.

Henry was named Player of the Match after tearing through the Indian batting order. His opening over removed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and stand-in captain Shreyas Iyer without a run on the board. Earlier, Young’s 125 from 108 deliveries had given the hosts the platform for a substantial total.

The result and scorecard are recorded by Cricbuzz’s match centre. This was India’s second-largest ODI defeat by runs, just below the 245-run loss to Sri Lanka at Sharjah in 2000, as reported in PTI’s match report on Rediff.

Will Young’s century sets up New Zealand’s 333

Young and Tim Seifert supplied an 85-run opening partnership. Seifert’s 58 from 48 balls provided early momentum, while Young went on to anchor the innings. India gave Young two chances while he was on five, with Rohit and wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan unable to hold catches off Auqib Nabi.

Finn Allen added 41 from 30 balls and shared a 90-run fourth-wicket partnership with Young. New Zealand had a chance to push the total higher, but India recovered in the closing phase. The final ten overs produced 68 runs, leaving the hosts all out for 333.

Axar Patel’s controlled spell was a bright spot for India: his ten overs cost only 39 runs and brought two wickets. The innings report from The New Indian Express/AP describes the contrast between New Zealand’s strong platform and India’s late containment.

Batting totals checked against the PTI scoreboard; bowling figures cross-checked with the published match scorecards.

Henry’s first over changes the chase

A chase of 334 demands a productive start. India instead lost three senior batters in the opening over. Henry dismissed Rohit, bowled Kohli and trapped Iyer lbw, putting New Zealand firmly in control before India had scored.

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s dismissal left India at 9/4. Kishan and Axar then put together a 44-run fifth-wicket stand, offering a brief period of resistance. Once that partnership ended, the innings unravelled again. Kishan top-scored with 27, while Axar and Naman Dhir each made 21.

Matthew Fisher supported Henry with three wickets, and Kyle Jamieson took the remaining one. India’s innings ended with 140 legal deliveries unused. In cricket notation, 26.4 means 26 overs and four balls, rather than a decimal fraction of an over.

Three moments that shaped the result

  1. Young survives early: his reprieves became expensive as he converted his start into a century.
  2. India limit the finish: regular wickets prevented New Zealand from fully exploiting their middle-overs platform.
  3. The chase collapses immediately: three wickets in Henry’s first over turned a difficult pursuit into a desperate recovery effort.

HilluBhai analysis: the biggest lesson is the value of preserving chances in both innings. A dropped catch can extend an opposition partnership, while clustered wickets can remove the freedom needed to chase a large score. India’s late bowling recovery mattered, but it needed a far stronger batting response to become decisive.

What the captains said after the match

In the presentation recorded by Cricbuzz, Iyer credited Henry’s accuracy and described a difference between the batting conditions in the two innings. He said India needed to review their bowling and batting while drawing confidence from their earlier wins. Mitchell Santner welcomed the pressure his side created early and the contributions around Young’s innings.

These reactions explain how the teams viewed the game; they do not change the straightforward scoreline. New Zealand were stronger across the match, and India now have a short turnaround before returning to the same venue.

Has India already won the ODI series?

No. India lead 2–1 with one match remaining. The third ODI was abandoned, so New Zealand can still finish level. An Indian win in the final ODI would make it 3–1. A New Zealand win would mean a 2–2 draw. If the last game produces no result, India would retain the 2–1 advantage.

For India, the next challenge is to avoid allowing one heavy defeat to dictate the final game. For New Zealand, the task is to reproduce the discipline that created pressure at Bay Oval. Neither side can assume that the same ground will produce the same match: the selected eleven, surface and execution will matter again.
