After spending three games as India’s whipping boys, the Black Caps – inspired by one of one-day cricket’s most memorable 10-over spells – gave India a thrashing in Hamilton.

Boult’s 10 overs on the trot at Seddon Park returned five wickets for 21 runs as India were remarkably rolled for 92 batting first. In reply, NZ reached their target in 14.4 overs with eight wickets to spare. Makeshift opener Henry Nicholls made an unbeaten 30 off 42 balls while Ross Taylor raced to 37 not out off 25 deliveries.

The tourists had comfortably won the first three games of the five-match one-day international series but Boult and Colin de Grandhomme (3-26 off 10 overs) proved almost unplayable on Thursday.

The left-arm opening bowler dealt up a mixture of swing and seam that terrorised the Indian batsmen. He bowled unchanged to record the ninth-best figures from a NZ bowler in ODI history.
