Detailed summary

Henry removed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer all without scoring in the first over of India's chase to tear the top order apart with the visitors needing a massive 334 for victory.

Matt Henry took six wickets and Will Young struck a century as New Zealand thrashed a ragged India by 244 runs in the fourth ODI at Mount Maunganui on Friday.

Henry removed Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer all without scoring in the first over of India's chase to tear the top order apart with the visitors needing a massive 334 for victory.

New Zealand made 333 all out in the last over after being asked to bat, Young punishing two simple drops by Indian fielders to bring up his fifth ODI hundred.

India never stood a chance of chasing the total after Henry's heavenly opening over.

Rohit edged his first ball to slip, Kohli was bowled facing his fourth ball, and then Iyer was pegged on his back leg to fall lbw.

India's rebuild never happened, Ishan Kishan top-scoring with just 27 as India were rolled for 89.

New Zealand's imposing total came off the back of Young's 125 from 108 balls, including 14 fours and four sixes.

While Young rode his early luck -- dropped twice in two balls when on five in the second over, first by slip Rohit and then by wicketkeeper Kishan -- Seifert played the aggressor with a brisk 39-ball 50.

When Seifert fell for 58, Nick Kelly and Dean Foxcroft soon followed playing reckless shots.
