India and New Zealand will cross swords in the fourth T20I of the ongoing five-match series on Wednesday, January 28. The highly anticipated encounter will be played at the ACA-VDCA cricket stadium in Visakhapatnam. India have enjoyed stellar success under Suryakumar Yadav's leadership, taking an unassailable three-nil lead following a decisive eight-wicket victory in the third T20I at Barsapara Stadium. 

After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, India restricted New Zealand to a modest total of 153 runs. Jasprit Bumrah emerged as the pick of the bowlers for the home side, dismantling the tourists with a clinical three-wicket haul. Although India lost an early wicket in the form of Sanju Samson, belligerent half-centuries from Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav helped them chase the target in just ten overs. 

So, moving on to the fourth T20I, New Zealand would be desperate to bounce back and secure their first win of the series. On the contrary, India would be keen to maintain their unbeaten streak ahead of the T20 World Cup, starting February 7. 

As the stage is set for an exciting face-off, here we explain the playing conditions, including the pitch and weather reports of Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

(ACA-VDCA Stadium Vizag T20I records)

The pitch at Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam has traditionally offered a balanced contest between bat and ball, as evidenced by the average run rate of 7.59 in four T20Is at this venue. However, Visakhapatnam hosted several high-scoring matches in the IPL 2025, with the average run rate reading 10.09. 

This implies that, despite statistical evidence suggesting otherwise, a relatively more batting-friendly deck might be dished out in Visakhapatnam for the fourth T20I between India and New Zealand. 

The pitch in Visakhapatnam generally doesn't offer prodigious seam movement to the fast bowlers. However, if the track is on the drier side, the ball might hold up a bit, especially in the first half. So, batters should take a bit of time to settle before shifting gears on this wicket. 

The spin bowlers usually get some turn in the middle overs. So, expect the trend to continue during the fourth T20I, with spinners likely to dominate the proceedings in the first half. As the game progresses, the track could flatten and become more conducive to batting because of dew. Also, considering the chasing sides have won three of four T20Is here, the toss-winning team might opt to field first.
