What is India's Lowest ODI Total in New Zealand? Record Low For Men in Blue

India's fourth ODI against New Zealand at Bay Oval turned into a day to forget for the visitors. Having dominated the opening stages of the five-match series, the Indian side entered the contest looking to strengthen its position before the decider under the interim captain Shreyas Iyer.

However, a difficult batting display in the NZ vs IND 4th ODI completely changed the narrative. The Indian top order failed to withstand the hosts' pace attack, while the lower order offered little resistance. The result brought an unwanted chapter to India's ODI history.

India Lowest ODI Score in NZ

India have now registered their lowest ODI total in New Zealand, managing just 89 runs in 26.4 overs during the fourth ODI on November 13, 2026. The visitors were chasing 334 after New Zealand posted 333, powered by Will Young's 125 and Tim Seifert's 58.

Matt Henry led the demolition job with a sensational six-wicket haul, finishing with figures of 6/27. He struck three times in the opening over, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer for ducks.

Matthew Fisher also made an impact with three wickets, while Ishan Kishan top-scored for India with 27. The 89-run total surpassed India's previous lowest ODI score in New Zealand: 92 against the Kiwis in Hamilton in 2019. This was a disappointing performance from a team that is considered as one of the best cricket teams in the world.
