A massive blow for the India National Cricket Team in New Zealand as they suffered an 87-run defeat today, October 30, at Eden Park in Auckland. Mitchell Santner's side have finally opened their account in this series.

It was the fourth match of the 5-match T20I series which was dominated by the home team from the start to end of the match. While the fans expected a nail-biting match between the two sides, the finalists of the 2026 T20 World Cup, it ended in a one-sided contest with the New Zealand cricket team winning the match by a massive margin.
