With Sachin Tendulkar missing due to injury, India faced a daunting challenge chasing New Zealand’s massive total of 300/8. The star of the match was Chris Cairns, who played a breathtaking innings of 115 off just 80 balls, smashing seven fours and seven sixes. Cairns reached his century in only 75 balls before launching a late assault that completely changed the game. New Zealand hammered 121 runs in the final 10 overs, turning a good total into a formidable one. The match also featured moments of controversy. When Cairns was on 51, India believed they had him caught behind, but the appeal was turned down. Later, he received another lifeline when he was dropped on the mid-wicket boundary on 76, allowing him to continue his destructive innings. Chasing the huge target, Sourav Ganguly played an aggressive knock of 60 off 50 balls, giving India early hope. However, the lower order failed to provide support as Chris Harris ripped through the tail, sealing victory for New Zealand. 🏏 Result: New Zealand won 📅 Series Result: Series drawn 2-2 ⭐ Match Highlight: Chris Cairns 115 (80 balls, 7 fours, 7 sixes) This match is remembered for Cairns’ explosive hitting and one of the most dramatic late-innings assaults in 1990s ODI cricket. #indvsnz #souravganguly #cricket #highlights #india #cairns
