Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @cricketmax87   India produced a rare bowling-dominated victory against New Zealand in the ODI at Auckland on 16 January 1999 during the India tour of New Zealand. After winning the toss, India’s pace attack took full advantage of the swing and seam-friendly conditions. Javagal Srinath delivered a brilliant opening spell, claiming three early wickets to put New Zealand under immense pressure. Venkatesh Prasad was equally impressive with his accuracy and control. Although unlucky at times, he eventually dismissed Craig McMillan, who had been one of New Zealand’s most dangerous batsmen during the series. Chasing the modest target, India suffered an early setback when Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed for just five, but the old belief that “India lose when Tendulkar fails” proved wrong on this occasion. Sourav Ganguly and the middle order steadied the chase, while Rahul Dravid once again led the batting with another composed innings, becoming India’s top scorer for the sixth consecutive innings in the series. India comfortably completed the chase with 37 balls to spare, securing a five-wicket victory. 🏏 Match Result: India won by 5 wickets 📍 Venue: Auckland 📅 Date: 16 January 1999 🏆 Man of the Match: Rahul Dravid This match is remembered for India’s disciplined fast bowling and Rahul Dravid’s remarkable consistency throughout the series. #indvsnz #indiawins #cricketmax #highlights
