India are all set to take on New Zealand in the fourth T20I game in Vishakhapatnam on January 27. The hosts have seized the series and will be looking forward to a clean sweep. Meanwhile, New Zealand have two more games to rectify their mistakes and make changes to their playing XI. The balance seems off as some of the batters haven't been able to perform.
In the bowling front, New Zealand have Jacob Duffy, Zakary Foulkes, and Matt Henry, who are known for their fierce bowling. Despite that, they haven't been able to dismiss India's top order which is quite concerning as the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 is coming up within two weeks. The Kiwis are left with just two more games to structure their team ahead of the marquee event.
