India vs New Zealand fourth ODI has been concluded, as the Kiwis have handed India a humiliating defeat by a margin of 244 runs at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. The Kiwis make the series 1-2 after this win. Matt Henry was the Player of the Match for his excellent performance as the pacer, and he provided an update on his availability for the last game.

This is a big win for the New Zealand National Cricket Team, keeping the series alive, as there is no chance for them to win this series given that the third match was washed out. They now have the chance to draw the series if they win the fifth and final game on Sunday.
