India faces New Zealand in fourth T20I today

Auckland, Oct 29:

India take on New Zealand in the fourth T20 International at Eden Park, Auckland, on Friday, with the five-match series already sealed 3-0.

Ishan Kishan’s fitness will be a key selection factor as India consider their opening combination. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi impressed with an explosive 45 off 19 balls in the third T20I, strengthening his case to retain his place alongside Abhishek Sharma.

India could also rotate their bowling attack, with Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy in contention for opportunities.

New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner, will look to register their first win of the series. Eden Park’s short boundaries could favour the batters, while the possibility of showers may influence conditions.

India will aim to maintain their winning momentum, while the hosts seek a consolation victory.
