Jesse Ryder showed sensational performance with bat and ball as New Zealand won the fifth one-day international against India by eight wickets.
What a strange game , cricket is, few days back New Zealand looks down and out against the powerful Indian batting line up and today’s their bowlers performed exceptionally well to restrict the Indians for just 149 runs in 36.3 overs and then came out with all guns blazing to reach the target in 23.2 overs with the loss of just two wickets.
It seems that Indian team after there last victory, played the fifth ODI with over confidence what they did when they started their tour. It was not just loss but what New Zealand batsman and bowler done in this match will give some headache to the Indian captain. Their prime bowler Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma went for plenty. Both bowled 15.2 overs between them and conceded 114 runs.
After being beaten heavily in the last three ODI’s this is one of the best comebacks by the team who already lost the series. The star for New Zealand in this match was Jesse Ryder who first took three important wickets (Yuvraj, Dhoni and Y.Pathan) and then smashed 63 runs of just 49 balls.Iain O'Brien and Jacob Oram both picked up two wickets each.
Earlier due to rain, match was reduced to 43 overs a side. M.S.Dhoni after winning the toss decided to bat first in cloudy condition. They didn't get the start from their openers and lost G.Gambhir very early with just 30 runs on the board in the fifth over.
However Virendra Sehwag continued to play in same fashion despite the ball was moving a lot. He smashed 40 runs in just 27 balls with three huge six and three boundaries to the fence.
Apart from him only Rohit Sharma (43 runs of 74 balls) and Yuvraj Singh (11 runs of 24 balls) was other India batsman to reach double figures. Rest of the Indian batting failed and wickets have fallen like pack of cards.
In reply to India's small total of 149 runs,Jessee Ryder, smashed 63 runs of just 49 balls,including six fours and four sixes, shared a second-wicket stand of 84 with Martin Guptill after the early loss of Brendon McCullum.
Ryder was bowled by Ishant Sharma with the score on 93 but Guptill finished the job in the company of Ross Taylor.
Jesse Ryder is declared Man of the Match for his all round performance with bat and ball.
One of the shameful batting displays by the Indians. India lost the match by eight wickets, but in the manner they have lost it was really ridiculous. How any one can say this is one of the best batting lineup India have ever produced. If you see the stats whenever they get good start from openers only then they manage to put huge total on the board.
Today's match was one of the worst days on this tour for Dhoni and his men and it would be nice to forget the day as soon as possible because first test match is just few days away.
A three-Test series, starting in Hamilton on March 18.

Dismissal of Yuvraj did not bothered Tendulkar as he continued to play in the same manner and was well on course of breaking his own record of highest score in ODI which is also against New Zealand.Dhoni gave him a good support at the other end.
Tendulkar smashed five sixes and 16 fours in his 163 coming from 133 balls, before he retired hurt with a pulled stomach muscle in the 45th over, leaving the field to a standing ovation.

In reply, New Zealand opener B.McCullum (71 runs of 68 balls) and J.Ryder (105 runs of 80 balls) started at brisk pace and went on to put 166 runs in just 22 overs for the first wicket.
New Zealand batting was also helped by some poor catching by the Indians. They drop as many as three easy straight forward chances. First it was M.S.Dhoni who dropped J.Ryder when he was on 45 on the bowling of M.Patel. In the very next over Yusuf Pathan dropped the catch of B.McCullum when he was on 38 runs on the bowling of Zaheer Khan. And in the end S.Raina dropped K.Mills on the bowling of Z.Khan to allow New Zealand to reach closer to Indian total.
Ryder pushed the ball to Suresh Raina, who had not been comfortable out in the field, but this time he fired a return straight back to wicketkeeper Dhoni and McCullum was run out for 71.

When Martin Guptill fell leg before wicket to Yuvraj, New Zealand were 182 for three with the wickets falling in 21 balls.
Southee (32 runs of 20 balls) went on to put 83 runs in just 42 balls to gave New Zealand another hope of getting the target. But real drama came in the 45th over bowled by Munaf Patel. His first delivery was hit for six over long off by K.Mills to reach his first fifty in ODI’s, second delivery was called no ball because of high full toss on which K.Mills was caught and fourth delivery was again called no ball bowled by M.Patel to same batsman and again he was caught by M.S.Dhoni and then umpire R.Koertzen decided to take Munaf Patel out of the attack.
M.S.Dhoni has no other option than throwing the ball to Yusuf Pathan. He did it for his team by removing dangerous looking K.Mills in his four over spell and conceded just a single.
Mills cracked 54 and Southee 32 before they fell in successive balls to end the game.
On the very first ball of 46th over bowled by P.Kumar wrapped up the match by removing T.Southee.
