The problems with the New Zealand Under-19 top order have not abated, with a heavy 165-run defeat to India in their Tri-Series game in Darwin.
After being asked to bat, India made 276-6 at the Marrara Cricket Ground on Thursday, led by 128 from Vijay Zol.
Wanganui bowler Nick Blundellfinished with 1-44 from his seven overs.
Needing a good start, no one in the New Zealand top order was able to fire as Wanganui's Henry Collier was the first to fall for 10, and the rot continued, to leave the New Zealanders at one stage at 35-6.
Canterbury middle-order batsman Ken McClure was called on to save the innings and batted well, to be the last man out for 41.
