The ODI leg of India’s tour of New Zealand moves into its final stages as the action heads to Mount Maunganui. The visitors won the first two games in Auckland and Wellington, before the third game in Hamilton was washed out due to rain. This gave India an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. 

Some of the key stars like Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, and others have left the ODI squad as they prepare for the upcoming Test series. Shreyas Iyer will lead the side and hope to keep the momentum going. It is also a good chance for players on the bench to test out their mettle against tough opposition. 

New Zealand have called upon 31-year-old seamer Brett Randell for the final two games of the ODI series. Players like Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, and Glenn Phillips have been rested to keep them fresh for the red-ball series. The home team will want to win this game and head into the final game looking to square the series on Sunday.

Bay Oval, Pitch Report 

After the rain-affected first three ODIs, there is full cricketing action expected on Friday. Weather conditions will be bright and sunny, and the evening temperature will be pleasant. The captain winning the toss will want to bowl first, as there could be a bit of dew in the second half. It is a ground where the average score batting first is between 266-290. Fast bowlers will get good help with the new ball, but the wicket will settle down to become a batting beauty as the game goes on.

NZ vs IND: Predicted best performers of the match. 

Best batter – Virat Kohli

Former India skipper Virat Kohli has already scored 81 runs in the two games he has played so far. Considering the batting conditions will be much better, one can expect a big score from the veteran star. 

Best bowler – Jacob Duffy

The 32-year-old Jacob Duffy has been one of the best New Zealand bowlers in the ODI series with six wickets from two games. The right-arm seamer has troubled the Indian batters with his consistent line and length as well as deceptive pace.

Who will win the NZ vs IND 4th ODI match?

With both sides missing some of their key stars, this could be an even contest. One feels India hold the slight edge due to the presence of Rohit and Virat, and they could take the team to a win.
