India's cricket team has been on fire, especially with Abhishek Sharma leading the charge. The team's batting lineup is strong, and their bowlers are working well together. Even without Tilak Varma, they've been doing great, and Ishan Kishan has been a surprise star.
On the other hand, New Zealand is struggling. They haven't been able to keep up with India in any area of the game. The fourth T20I match between these two teams is set to take place at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam on January 28.
The Indian team might make some changes to their playing XI. They could bring in Shreyas Iyer and pair Ishan Kishan with Abhishek Sharma at the top. New Zealand, however, might stick with their current team to boost their confidence before the T20 World Cup in 2026.
There are some exciting matchups to look forward to. Abhishek Sharma will face off against Matt Henry, Ishan Kishan against Mitchell Santner, and Suryakumar Yadav against Ish Sodhi. These battles could be crucial in deciding the outcome of the game.
Key players to watch out for include Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ishan Kishan from India, and Tim Seifert, Rachin Ravindra, and Mitchell Santner from New Zealand.
The match will be broadcast on the Star Sports Network and can be streamed live on the JioHotstar app and website. The weather in Vishakhapatnam is expected to be clear, and the pitch is likely to favor batters.
In their head-to-head matches, India has won 15 times, while New Zealand has won 10. India is currently leading the series 3-0. Given their recent performances, India is expected to win this match as well.
