The match marked the international debut of Owen Delany Park in Taupo, a picturesque lakeside venue that attracted around 12,000 spectators for its historic first international game. Batting first after winning the toss, India built a strong total thanks to Rahul Dravid, who produced a sensational 123 off just 123 balls, continuing his incredible form with his third century in three consecutive innings. However, India suffered an early setback when Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed for a duck. New Zealand’s chase began aggressively, with Matthew Horne and Craig McMillan providing the momentum needed to stay ahead in the contest. The match then took an unexpected turn when floodlight failure interrupted New Zealand’s innings, forcing a delay. When play resumed, the Duckworth–Lewis method revised the target to 200, leaving New Zealand needing 32 runs from 50 balls. With the momentum on their side, the hosts comfortably completed the chase to secure a five-wicket victory. 🏏 Match Result: New Zealand won by 5 wickets (D/L method) 📍 Venue: Owen Delany Park, Taupo 📅 Date: 9 January 1999 🏆 Man of the Match: Rahul Dravid – 123 Despite ending on the losing side, Dravid’s magnificent century remains one of the standout innings of the series. #indvsnz #cricket #highlights
