India vs New Zealand Prediction, 4th T20I – Who will win today’s match between IND vs NZ?

The series is already in favour of the hosts, but the action moves forward as India (IND) take on New Zealand (NZ) in the fourth T20I at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, January 28. With India holding an unassailable lead, the India vs New Zealand Prediction leans strongly towards the hosts, although the visitors will be eager to play for pride.

India, under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, have looked in terrific form from the series opener in Nagpur through to the third T20I in Guwahati, which sealed the five-match series. Their batting, bowling, and fielding units have all clicked at different stages, with multiple players stepping up when required. This all-round consistency further strengthens the India vs New Zealand Prediction in India’s favour as they aim to make it 4-0.

New Zealand, meanwhile, have shown flashes of quality but have struggled to put together complete performances. The Mitchell Santner-led side has often failed to play to its strengths, which has resulted in defeats across all matches so far. Heading into Vizag, New Zealand will look to unleash their best cricket and put up a stronger challenge, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the India vs New Zealand Prediction.

IND vs NZ: Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Abhishek Sharma

The rich vein of form that Abhishek Sharma finds himself in currently is enough to say that he is enjoying the best part of his cricketing career. His exploits have not only forwarded a fear among the opposition bowler, but also has helped the Indians be a lot confident about his skills to ensure a run-fest right from the word ‘go’.

Probable Best Bowler: Jasprit Bumrah

The super-successful Jasprit Bumrah showed why he is considered such a dependable player in the Indian dressing room. Bumrah has been bowling mostly towards the middle and death overs, and has been to stem the flow of runs, while also picking three crucial wickets in only two innings. The Ahmedabad-born will arguably look to carry the bowling unit’s weight on his shoulders.
