Daryl Tuffey's bowling figures of 10-2-11-2 (R/o: 1.1) were the fourth best economical bowling performance by a Kiwi bowler in LOIs. The following bowlers, who have delivered at least 60 balls (or 10 overs) in a match, have better economical figures than Tuffey - Ewen Chatfield (10-4-8-1; R/o: 0.80 v Sri Lanka at Dunedin on 2-3-1983), Richard Hadlee (12-6-10-0; R/o: 0.83 v East Africa at Birmingham, 7-6-1975); and Lance Cairns (10-6-10-0; R/o: 1.00 v Sri Lanka at Dunedin, 2-3-1983).
Tuffey's figures were the second best economical bowling figures by any bowler against India after Australian Glenn McGrath's 10-4-8-4 (R/o: 0.80) at Sydney on 14-1-2000.
Brendon McCullum who had taken five dismissals (4 ct+1st) at Napier (on 29-12-2002), once again equalled the New Zealand record for a keeper, for the most dismissals in a LOI match. He equalled the record of Adam Parore (three catches and 2 stumpings v West Indies at Goa on 26-10-1994) and his own performance at Napier earlier this week. Incidentally, McCullum became the first keeper in LOI history to take five dismissals in a match in successive games and also the first to take 10 dismissals in two successive matches.
Paul Hitchcock's 3-30 was his personal best figures in his 8th match bettering the previous best of 3-43 against the West Indies at Gros Islet in June last year.
India's total of 108 equals its lowest against New Zealand. India had made an identical score in the first match of his series at Auckland on 26-12-2002.
This was the fourth occasion India's innings was top-scored by Mr Extras. It has also occurred against Pakistan at Totonto on 23-9-1996; against West Indies at Toronto on 12-9-1999, against Australia at Sydney on 14-1-2000 and now at Christchurch. This was also the first such instance in New Zealand.
New Zealand's victory with 139 balls to spare was its largest in LOIs against a Test nation. Its previous largest was the win with 130 balls to spare against Zimbabwe at Wellington on 6-2-1998. However New Zealand's all-time biggest was the victory by 193 balls to spare against Scotland at Edinburgh on 31-5-1999 during the 1999 World Cup.
This was the only second time in his career as captain spanning 85 matches, Sourav Ganguly had lost four matches in a row. He lost the Baroda match against the West Indies on 18-11-2002, only to lose the next three against New Zealand on this tour. Ganguly had also lost four matches in row from 7-7-2001 to 26-7-2001 - against West Indies (1), New Zealand (2) and Sri Lanka (1).
India has now lost all its five matches at the Jade Stadium (formerly Lancaster Park) in Christchurch.
The man of the match award was Tuffey's only second such award in 40 matches. He had earlier won an award against Pakistan at Napier on 20-2-2001 for his bowling performance of 4-24.
