India vs New Zealand Live Score, 4th ODI: Shreyas Iyer to lead, Ishan Kishan likely to start Rohit Sharma – The Tech Word News

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 4th ODI: The fourth ODI India vs New Zealand promises to be an interesting contest as the two sides meet at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday, November 13. After rain interrupted the third ODI in Hamilton, both teams will be hoping for a complete match with clear weather forecast for the fourth encounter.

India go into the competition with a series advantage and cannot lose the ODI series after Hamilton’s win. New Zealand, meanwhile, will look to win the remaining matches and force a series draw. The match also presents an opportunity for both teams to assess their combinations ahead of their respective international commitments.

India will have a different look with Shreyas Iyer taking the captaincy. Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Anshul Kamboj have joined the preparations for the Test squad, leaving several vacancies in the playing XI. Ishan Kishan is likely to open alongside Rohit Sharma while Ruturaj Gaikwad and Tilak Varma compete for the middle-order opportunity. Mohammed Siraj could also feature after missing the last few games.

New Zealand brought in Finn Allen, Mitch Haye, Dean Foxcroft and Brett Randell after several departures from the ODI squad. Matt Henry is in contention to return after recovering from a head injury and quadriceps problem. But Blair Tickner remains unavailable.

The Bay Oval has generally produced conditions that can help the bowlers, with the last 300-plus at the venue coming in February 2020. India’s impressive highest figures since the 2023 FIFA World Cup will be tested against a traditionally tough New Zealand team to beat at home.

Can Shreyas Iyer lead India’s new-look combination to another victory or will New Zealand keep their hopes of extending the series alive? Catch all the lineups, team news, probable XIs and key talking points from the fourth ODI.
