On Friday, October 30, India and New Zealand locked horns for the 4th T20I. The caravan moves to Eden Park in Auckland. It is a dead rubber game because the Men in Blue have already clinched the series 3-0.

For the toss, two captains - Shreyas Iyer and Mitchell Santner walked down the track for the coin flip.

Shreyas Iyer won his fourth toss in a row and opted to field first. India have made two changes to their playing XI. 

Ishan Kishan, who missed the 2nd and 3rd T20Is due to injury, has regained full fitness and has replaced Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in the playing XI. India seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been dropped as well, making way for Mayank Yadav in the team.

On the other hand, New Zealand have been forced to make a change as well. Nathan Smith returns in place of injured Kyle Jamieson.

India vs New Zealand 4th T20I: Captains Thoughts

Mitchell Santner (New Zealand Captain): "[No luck with toss, but you can certainly turn things around] Yeah, we're going to have to. We're now into a great side and play some good cricket, so yeah, it's another fresh day tonight on a new ground, a new pitch.

[Just seeing some grass on the surface, so it might just help the bowlers a little more than some of the other games] Yeah, traditionally it does a little bit, more bounce.

Shreyas Iyer (India Captain): "[Four out of four. You can do no wrong with a toss. Have you got a lottery ticket this weekend?] Just following the same pattern every now and then. [Tails it is. Okay, so what have you decided?] We're going to bowl first.

[Okay, cracking last game. You'd be mighty pleased with the way the boys went all round] Yes, absolutely. The intent, the positivity right from ball one, it was amazing.
