Match Highlights | IND vs NZ 4th T20I: Mitchell Santner Stars, New Zealand Beat India By 50 Runs in Vizag | Full Scorecard, Result & Key Moments

Summary: IND vs NZ 4th T20I Match Highlights: Captain Mitchell Santner stars as New Zealand defeated India by 50 runs in the fourth T20 International in Vizag on Wednesday.

Match Highlights IND vs NZ 4th T20I Scorecard: With this consolation win for NZ, India cannot pull off a whitewash, as the series is 3-1 in favour of India with a game to go. Earlier, putting the Kiwis in to field first, the Indian bowling conceded too many runs against the openers Tim Seifert (62) and Devon Conway (44), who put on a century partnership. 

While Arshdeep Singh (2/33) and Kuldeep Yadav (2/39) put the brakes, Daryl Mitchell (39*) played a cameo to take NZ to 215/7. India kept losing wickets regularly, but Shivam’s 23-ball 65 gave Team India some hope. After his dismissal, India was bundled out for 165 in 18.4 overs.

Earlier, India captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss as the hosts decided to bowl against New Zealand. Ishan Kishan, the in-form batter, misses out due to a niggle.

IND vs NZ Live Score 4th T20I: Pitch Report And Conditions

Simon Doull, Deep Dasgupta with the pitch report… “It’s a pleasant evening here in Visakhapatnam for the fourth T20I of the series. The pitch is right in the centre of the ground – 65 metres on either side, so no bias there. Straight down the ground is about 74 metres, so not the biggest venue. It does look like an absolute belter. It’s got a really nice straw-coloured grass covering on it. The outfield looks magnificent. I thought Vadodara was the best outfield I’d seen in the country, but I think this might even top that. It’s like walking on a carpet – just beautiful. We’ve seen high-scoring games here in the last couple of years, especially in the IPL. The average first-innings score is around 209, and there was even a 272 scored here in a T20 game. So whether we see something like that tonight, I’m not sure, but if you bat first, you’re going to need plenty. It’s a high-scoring surface, plenty of runs, plenty of sixes, and a little bit of dew expected in the second half. So if you win the toss, you’d want to chase.”

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE: Captain Surya Speaks

Suryakumar Yadav: We’re going to bowl first. It looks like a good wicket, and we’ll get a chance to practise here later. There was a lot of dew last night and today it’s a little humid as well, so we feel that in the second innings the ball will come onto the bat nicely. I think the important thing is to repeat the good habits we’ve built over the past year, not just in this series. We want to keep doing the good things we’ve been doing, learn from the last game, and go out there, enjoy ourselves, play the format the way it’s meant to be played, and entertain the people who’ve come here. It’s a beautiful ground and a lovely crowd here. Hopefully the boys are charged up and we have a good, entertaining night. Arshdeep comes in for Ishan Kishan, who picked up a niggle in the last game. Axar Patel still needs a bit more time, so hopefully we’ll see him in the next game. The batters will need to take a bit more responsibility, but at the same time not shy away from playing with fearless intent. We’ve got five good bowling options today, so we’ll see how it goes.
