India vs New Zealand 4th ODI Preview: The India-New Zealand ODI series moves to Mount Maunganui, where the two teams will meet in the fourth match at Bay Oval. India will look to continue their advantage in the series, while the hosts will aim to bounce back and keep their hopes of finishing the contest on a positive note alive.
The visitors will have a new leadership combination for the remaining matches, with Shreyas Iyer taking charge after Shubman Gill departed for preparations ahead of the upcoming Test series. KL Rahul has also left the ODI squad, with Ishan Kishan expected to take up wicketkeeping duties and potentially open the batting alongside Rohit Sharma.
New Zealand have also made several changes to their squad. Tim Seifert, Finn Allen, Nick Kelly and Dean Foxcroft are among the players included for the final two ODIs. Mitchell Santner will continue to lead the home side, while the return of Matt Henry to the squad provides another bowling option.
Unlike the rain-affected conditions in Hamilton, the weather forecast at Mount Maunganui is expected to be clearer. The teams will hope for a full 50-over contest, with Bay Oval potentially offering better batting conditions.
