IND vs NZ 4th T20I match [Source: X]
Indi has bagged the five-match T20I series already with a solid win in the 3rd T20I, and they will be moving to Vizag for the 4th game. The clash will take place at the Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on January 28, and the match will be live from 7:00 PM IST.
Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan were furious with the bat as well as Suryakumar Yadav, who made a comeback with the bat. Jasprit Bumrah was the headline with all eyes on him for the next encounter.
New Zealand, on the other hand, would like to bounce back to gain pride on Indian soil. Glenn Phillips and Mark Chapman will be given the baton to push the scoreboard, while Kyle Jamieson and Jacob Duffy will take the responsibility with the ball to restrict the Indian guns.

IND vs NZ: Key player battles
Abhishek Sharma vs Jacob Duffy
Abhishek Sharma has grown into one of India’s most explosive powerplay batters in T20 cricket, known for attacking right from the first ball. Jacob Duffy, on the other hand, is a disciplined right-arm medium-fast bowler who depends on seam movement and smart variations rather than outright pace.
Abhishek Sharma vs Jacob Duffy in T20Is: 33 runs; 13 balls; 1 dismissal
Ishan Kishan vs Matt Henry
A fascinating left-hand batter vs right-arm fast bowler matchup in T20Is. Ishan Kishan has been highly aggressive against Matt Henry whenever they've faced off in limited-overs cricket. In the third T20I of the ongoing series, Kishan took Henry apart in spectacular fashion. Henry, while a reliable new-ball and death bowler for New Zealand, will be looking to give a tough challenge to Kishan in the next match.
Ishan Kishan vs Matt Henry in T20Is: 31 runs; 10 balls; 0 dismissals
Glenn Phillips vs Jasprit Bumrah
Glenn Phillips has shown he can take on Jasprit Bumrah aggressively. In T20Is, he has cleared the ropes off Bumrah. However, Bumrah's unmatched skill set makes him a nightmare. Bumrah often bowls tightly in powerplay or death, limiting scoring opportunities, and his wicket-taking ability tilts the scales for Phillips to fall in the trap.

India vs New Zealand toss prediction
The pitch offers true bounce, making it ideal for batting as players can play through the line and score freely. Fast bowlers may get some early movement with the new ball, helped by evening humidity, which can assist swing in the initial overs.
As the match progresses, the surface slows down, bringing spinners into play with extra turn and reduced bounce, especially during the middle overs. Dew becomes a key factor later in the evening, making the ball slippery and challenging for spinners to grip. Because of this, teams winning the toss often prefer to bowl first and chase.

IND vs NZ Match Winner Prediction: Who Will Win The 4th T20I?
India head into the fourth T20I in Visakhapatnam with confidence high after already sealing the series and showcasing all-round dominance in the previous games.
With the batting unit firing in unison, led by Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and the returning Suryakumar Yadav, and a potent bowling attack, the hosts appear well prepared to continue their winning run.
New Zealand will aim to restore pride through key contributions from Glenn Phillips and disciplined bowling efforts, but given India’s form, home advantage and depth, the Men in Blue start as firm favourites to clinch another victory.
