#2 2nd ODI, India's tour of New Zealand at Auckland, March 27th - 1994

India's first ever authoritative win on New Zealand soil came four years since their famed 1-run win at Wellington, and it was largely due to some priceless bowling displays by the Indian bowlers.
Kapil Dev's figures read 2/18 in his ten overs while Javagal Sreenath took two wickets by giving away a run less in 7.4 overs. Salil Ankola and Rajesh Chauhan's tallies read 8-0-27-2 and 10-1-43-3 respectively, while Anil Kumble and Ajay Jadeja bowled 14 overs between them to give away just 35 runs. Overall, the Kiwis were skittled out for just 142 runs as no one apart from Chris Harris (50) made influential changes to the scoreboard.
In reply, Sachin Tendulkar's solid knock (82 off 49, 15 hours, 2 sixes) chiefly brought India to the win with 26.4 overs (160 balls) remaining. 72 of those runs came via boundary shots as the Little Master looked his attacking best. There were no other competitors for the man-of-the-match title either.
