New Zealand, after choosing to bat first, produced a disastrous batting performance and were bundled out for just 155. Ashish Nehra led India’s disciplined bowling effort with a superb new-ball spell, claiming three wickets and reaching the milestone of 100 ODI wickets. RP Singh and Yuvraj Singh applied further pressure as New Zealand collapsed to 19 for 3 and never recovered. Despite a few spirited moments, the Kiwi batting lineup lacked intent and folded cheaply, crashing out of the tournament with this defeat. India’s chase began nervously under lights. Early wickets, including Dinesh Karthik and a scratchy comeback innings from Rahul Dravid, briefly put India under pressure. Sachin Tendulkar looked fluent with an attacking 46 but fell to a clever change of pace from Daniel Vettori. Yuvraj Singh also departed soon after, leaving India in a tricky position. Calm heads then prevailed as MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina took control of the chase. Raina played a confident and intelligent innings, punishing loose deliveries and rotating the strike smartly, while Dhoni anchored the innings with trademark composure. Their unbroken 72-run partnership ensured India crossed the line with 57 balls to spare, sealing a convincing win and the No. 1 ODI ranking. 🏏 Match: India vs New Zealand, 2nd Match 🏆 Tournament: Compaq Cup 2009 📍 Venue: R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo 📅 Date: September 11, 2009 ⭐ Key Performers: Ashish Nehra, MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina 🇮🇳 Result: India won by 6 wickets A clinical performance with ball and nerve, marking a major milestone in India’s ODI history. #indvsnz #cricketmax #highlights #thriller #msdhoni
