New Zealand ended a painful streak of 13 straight ODI losses in emphatic style at Napier — a venue where they boast a perfect record. Led by Stephen Fleming’s cool-headed 59 off 60 balls*, the Kiwis defeated India by four wickets in just 33 overs, chasing down the modest target with authority. 📌 Match Highlights: Stephen Fleming produced a composed and fluent 59 not out, repeating his heroics from the previous season at the same ground. Javagal Srinath did cause a scare, taking 3 wickets in one over, but it came too late — with just 17 runs needed. Navjot Sidhu was India's standout with the bat, scoring a gritty 73. Ken Rutherford took 4 catches in the match — a New Zealand ODI record, surpassing John Bracewell (as a substitute in 1980–81). The only setback for NZ was the re-injury to Martin Crowe, who tore his thigh muscle in the field after returning from a previous injury. 🏅 Player of the Match: Stephen Fleming 🇳🇿 📍 McLean Park, Napier 📅 February 16, 1995 🎟 Toss: New Zealand (elected to field) A much-needed win for New Zealand at home, marking the end of a long winless streak and reaffirming Napier as a fortress.
