Brook's Ton In Vain As NZ Beat England By 4 Wickets In ODI Series Opener

By IANS News October 26, 2025 • 20:22 PM View: 255

Harry Brook's stunning 135 went in vain as New Zealand beat England by four wickets in the ODI series opener here at Bay Oval on Sunday.

Batting first, England suffered a horrid top-order batting collapse as they were reeling 5 for 3, which soon became 10 for 4 and 56 for 6, but Brook's outrageous knock of 135 off 101 lifted the visitors to a respectable total of 223-10 in 35.2 overs.
