India vs New Zealand 4th T20: Key Details & Predictions

The excitement is palpable as India prepares to take on New Zealand in the 4th T20 match set to be held in Visakhapatnam. This match is particularly crucial for the Indian team, as they seek to achieve a clean sweep in the series. With Suryakumar Yadav leading the charge, the players are in high spirits, demonstrating their skills across various departments.

However, one issue has been the performance of wicketkeeper Sanju Samson, who has struggled in the first three matches. His recent golden duck in Guwahati has raised concerns about his position in the team. With Ishan Kishan also vying for the opener-keeper role, all eyes will be on Samson during this crucial game. Fans are eager to see if he can reclaim his form or if Kishan will step in.

The predicted playing XI for India includes Sanju Samson as wicketkeeper, alongside Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, and Shivam Dube. The bowling attack will feature Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, and Varun Chakaravarthy. Meanwhile, New Zealand's lineup is expected to include Devon Conway, Tim Seifert (wicketkeeper), Rachin Ravindra, and others, directed by captain Mitchell Santner.

The pitch in Visakhapatnam has shown promise for high-scoring encounters. The last game played here in 2023 saw over 400 runs being scored, with Australia setting a target of 209 runs that India successfully chased down. This suggests that batsmen from both teams may have a field day, making it an exciting prospect for fans.
