The New Zealanders cruised to an eight-wicket win in the fourth ODI in Hamilton as the dominant form that swept India to a 3-0 series victory disappeared. No opponent has ever defeated India with so many balls remaining in their innings and India has only scored as badly on six other occasions. Sharma took the skipper's armband for what was supposed to be a celebration of his 200th ODI but Black Caps' paceman Trent Boult crashed the party to take five for 21. Sharma said the pitch remained "a great wicket to bat on" but his batsman had failed to apply themselves because they had already won the series. New Zealand beat India by eight wickets!
