New Zealand registers a runaway eightwicket win; India sans Kohli posts seventhlowest ODI total
India appeared shorn of its aura in the absence of talismanic skipper Virat Kohli as pacer Trent Boult’s fiery five-wicket haul guided New Zealand to a stunning eightwicket win in the fourth OneDay International on Thursday.
With runmachine Kohli rested after the side claimed an unbeatable 30 lead in the fivematch series, India’s muchvaunted batting was dismissed for its seventh-lowest ODI total — 92 in 30.5 overs here after Boult dished out a deadly opening spell.
It was also the lowest total at this venue, the previous lowest of 122 is also against India’s name.
Boult wreaked havoc with the new ball and in Colin de Grandhomme’s (three for 26) company utilised the swinging conditions at the Seddon Park perfectly. “Never expected this to happen. We’ve got ourselves to blame for this,” said India’s standin captain Rohit Sharma.
In the absence of Kohli and an injured M.S. Dhoni, the Indian batting unit found the going tough against the Kiwi bowling attack.
India’s lowest ODI total is 54 against Sri Lanka at Sharjah in 2000. It was also India’s second-lowest against New Zealand, having somehow managed to surpass the 88 scored at Dambulla.
