Will Young's 125 set up the total

Young's innings was the core of New Zealand's batting. A hundred at better than a run a ball gave the later batters freedom to keep scoring, and it is the main reason New Zealand reached a total above 330 even though they were bowled out.

For India, a target of 334 meant scoring at around 6.7 an over for the full 50 overs. On a ground known for short boundaries that is possible, but only if the top order survives the new ball. It did not.

Matt Henry's 6 for 27 ended the chase early

Henry's six wickets cost only 27 runs. India never recovered from the early damage and were all out before the halfway point of their innings, in the 27th over.

Why the margin matters

In a series where two matches were decided by the rain rules (DLS) and one produced no result, a 244-run win is the first completely clear result. It also matters for net run rate in any rankings discussion, although bilateral ODIs do not use a points table.
