New Zealand, captained by Dion Nash in the absence of the injured Stephen Fleming, looked set for a big total after a powerful 76-run partnership between Matt Horne and Craig McMillan in just 14 overs. However, their innings took a dramatic turn when five New Zealand batsmen were run out, equalling a record for the most run-outs in a One Day International innings. Despite strong bowling and sharp fielding from New Zealand, their total of 213 runs proved just short. India’s chase was far from smooth, with wickets falling at regular intervals, but the visitors held their nerve to reach the target with just two wickets remaining. The match ended in thrilling fashion as India secured victory with only one ball to spare, making it one of the memorable close finishes of the 1998-99 India tour of New Zealand. 🏏 Match Details • Match: India vs New Zealand ODI • Date: 12 January 1999 • Venue: Napier • Result: India won by 2 wickets • Player of the Match: Matt Horne This match remains a fascinating example of how run-outs and pressure situations can change the course of an ODI. #indvsnz #cricketmax #thriller #india #cricket #highlights
