The series is already won by India, but New Zealand will look to bounce in the fourth T20I on Friday, trying to get their first win of the five-match series. This match at Eden Park in Auckland between the ‘Black Caps’ and the ‘Men in Blue’ is likely to continue India’s dominance at this venue, and our match prediction is an away win.
India won the first two matches by four wickets, chasing down 226 and 181 in tight encounters. The third match in Wellington on Tuesday saw India win by six wickets with 40 balls to spare. The series ends with a fifth game in Hamilton on Sunday.
New Zealand will be worried about their inability to defend totals – big ones at that, as scores of 225, 180, and 198 failed to see them win. Batsmen have enjoyed dominant performances, with Glenn Phillips (169 runs, SR 174.22) enjoying the series, while captain Mitchell Santner (seven wickets, ER 7.00) has been a standout bowler for the hosts.
Abhishek Sharma’s record-breaking century saw India romp home in Wellington, making a mockery of the 199-run target. While the series is already won, they will be eyeing a whitewash and staying unbeaten. Abhishek (169 runs, SR 238.02) still remains their best batsman, while the bowlers barring Arshdeep Singh (four wickets, ER 9.25) have struggled.

Our New Zealand vs India Prediction
After two close games, India flexed their muscles and smashed the records to post a big win in the third match. While the series is won, that shouldn’t stop them from pushing for another win. New Zealand will have to bounce back immediately at a venue that hasn’t been kind to them in recent times.
It’s tough to predict in a format as fickle as T20s, but India seem to be hitting the right chords – especially with their aggressive style. This could be their chance to add another win, and our New Zealand vs India prediction is India wins.
