On a green, seaming pitch where most batsmen struggled, Sehwag stood tall — scoring a sensational 110 off 93 balls, more than what the entire New Zealand team managed combined! India had chosen to bat on a fresh wicket after a collapse in the previous match, and it looked risky early as they slipped to 66/4. But Sehwag’s fearless strokeplay, backed by MS Dhoni’s composed 38, took India to a competitive total of 223 all out. Then came the Indian pace quartet’s destruction — Praveen Kumar, Ashish Nehra, Ishant Sharma, and Munaf Patel bowled in perfect rhythm, moving the ball both ways and dismantling the New Zealand top order. Praveen trapped Guptill LBW in the first over, Nehra and Ishant ripped through the middle, and Munaf mopped up the tail. New Zealand had no answer to the swing and seam on offer, collapsing for 118 all out, giving India a massive 105-run victory. It was a night when Sehwag batted on a different planet, and India’s pacers looked world-class — a rare and thrilling combination in subcontinental cricket. 📊 Match Summary 🏟️ Venue: Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Sri Lanka 🪙 Toss: India won and batted first 🏏 India: 223 all out (46.3 overs) – Sehwag 110 (93), Dhoni 38 (75) 🏏 New Zealand: 118 all out (30.1 overs) – Kyle Mills 52, Praveen Kumar 3/34, Nehra 2/10 🏆 Result: India won by 105 runs 🏅 Player of the Match: Virender Sehwag 🔥 Key Moments 💪 Sehwag’s audacious hitting on a green seamer — 110 off 93 balls! ⚡ Sehwag’s 1000th ODI four – three consecutive boundaries off Tim Southee 🧠 Dhoni’s patient 38 keeps the innings steady 🎯 Praveen Kumar’s early strike traps Guptill LBW first over 💥 Nehra’s pace and seam movement tear through New Zealand’s lineup 🌀 Ishant Sharma and Munaf Patel wrap up the tail 🏏 In
