India vs New Zealand T20I series now moves to Visakhapatnam for the 4th T20I at the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, 28 January 2026, starting at 7:30 PM IST.
India has been in complete control, winning the first three matches to seal the series with two games still left. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side is chasing a perfect 5-0 whitewash as they build momentum ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 starting in February in India.
New Zealand, on the other hand, is under real pressure. After taking the ODI series, the Blackcaps have struggled badly in these T20Is and need to turn things around in these final two matches to gain some confidence before the World Cup.

Under head coach Gautam Gambhir, India have played with real intent and aggression, much like the KKR style that won the IPL in 2024. They have dominated this series completely, winning all three games so far.
Abhishek Sharma has been the standout performer. He's raced to impressive numbers in T20Is (1267 runs in 36 matches), and in this series he's been explosive, starting with 84 off 35 in Nagpur and then smashing 68 off just 20 balls in Guwahati. His opening partner, Sanju Samson, has found it tough, managing only 16 runs across three matches.
Captain Suryakumar Yadav has found his form at the perfect time. After a lean patch earlier in 2025, he's scored 171 runs in these three games, looking dangerous and full of confidence. Ishan Kishan has made a strong comeback too, with 113 runs in two matches, including a match-winning 76 off 32 in Raipur.
The middle order, consisting of Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, and Hardik Pandya, has chipped in with useful cameos whenever needed.
With the ball, India have rotated their bowlers smartly to manage workloads ahead of the T20 World Cup. With limited batting chances, Hardik Pandya has shone with the ball, taking 4 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah, Shivam Dube, and Varun Chakravarthy have 3 wickets each, while Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravi Bishnoi have 2 apiece.
With the series already won, expect India to rest a few players to keep everyone fresh.
Ishan Kishan Total Runs Over 22.5 1.85
Ishan Kishan has played a couple of match winning knocks in the series where he has scored over 25 runs in both the matches. He is in good touch at the moment and on a surface that favours the batters at Vizag and the short square boundaries, we back Ishan Kishan to continue his good run of form and score over 22 runs in today's match.

After winning the ODI series, it has been a disappointing performance in the shortest format from the Kiwis, already losing three matches in the five-match series. The remaining two matches are the final preparations for the Black Caps before the T20 World Cup 2026 starting in February.
In this series, New Zealand have performed in patches. Glenn Phillips has been by far the best batter for the Kiwis in this series with 145 runs. He scored 78 runs in the first T20I and 48 runs in Guwahati.
Captain Mitchell Santner, down the order, has managed to chip in with 94 runs, taking a major responsibility himself. Mark Chapman likewise has scored 81 runs in 3 matches, adding some middle-order solidity alongside Phillips and Santner after the top order failed to deliver.
Daryl Mitchell, who probably had the best ODI performance of his career, scoring 352 runs in 3 matches, including 2 match-winning centuries, has been underwhelming so far with 60 runs in 3 matches in the T20I series. The Kiwis need a major upliftment in these final two matches before the big event.
Jacob Duffy has been the most standout bowler for the Black Caps in this series, taking 3 wickets in as many matches. Indian-origin spinner Ish Sodhi has also been brilliant, making the most of the spin-friendly conditions in India, grabbing 3 wickets. Veteran pacer Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson, who tends to do well in India, have both bagged 2 wickets apiece.
Devon Conway, Tim Seifert, Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips (WK), Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner (C), Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy.

It will be very pleasant weather for a game of cricket in Visakhapatnam on matchday. Bright sunshine is expected with a coastal breeze blowing at 16 kmph. The temperature will hover around 24-21°C and will be hot and humid. There is a 0% probability of precipitation, so there is no threat of rain at all for the game.
The pitch surface at the Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium is a batting-friendly, high-scoring venue. It is a belter with good pace and bounce on the offer from the surface that makes run scoring a whole lot easier. The large boundaries pose a challenge, but it's been a generally high-scoring venue. There is also potential for dew in the 2nd inning.
The average first-inning score at the venue is 148. The highest total at the venue is 215 runs by India vs Australia, while the lowest total is 82.
India to win the coin toss 1.90
We back the home team India to win the coin toss in today's match against New Zealand at Vizag.
There is an extra advantage for the chasing team at the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. The surface is a high-scoring belter but the potential dew in the 2nd inning could be significant for the chasing side. Teams chasing have won 3 out of 4 T20I matches at the venue.
India has been unstoppable in this series, playing fearless cricket with key performers like Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Suryakumar Yadav firing up top. Their bowling depth is incredible, with Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Harshit Rana, and Hardik Pandya having a great series with the ball. New Zealand has talent but hasn't put it together yet. They need a big improvement to compete, especially against this confident Indian side.
Expect India to beat New Zealand in 4th T20I.
