New Zealand vs. India live score, win probability, chances of victory for 4th T20I in Auckland

New Zealand arrive at Eden Park in Auckland on Friday with little to play for beyond their pride, as the fourth T20I against India begins with the series already out of reach. The hosts will be hoping to take the last two games and salvage something from a difficult few weeks. India sealed the series with three convincing chases, and each one left the home bowlers searching for answers. They first reached targets of 226 and 181 at Hagley Oval in Christchurch, then overhauled 199 in just 13.2 overs in Wellington, the most one-sided of the lot. The visitors are still without Ishan Kishan, who has missed the last two matches because of a low-grade right adductor strain. According to the BCCI’s latest update, he has not yet regained full match fitness, so his availability for Auckland remains in doubt.

Matt Henry has moved out of the T20I group to link up with the ODI squad, while Lockie Ferguson missed the Wellington game and is expected to be back for the final two matches of the series. The Black Caps cannot change the result of the series any more, but wins in the remaining fixtures would at least restore some dignity. Ferguson’s likely return should add pace and bounce to an attack that has been underwhelming, to say the least.

Naman Dhir mounted a defiant counterattack with an unbeaten 8-ball 18, taking 17 runs off Matthew Fisher's 10th over alongside Tilak Varma (3*), but the mounting required run rate of 15.30 leaves India facing an uphill battle. After six overs, IND are 61/4 New Zealand dominated the Powerplay with four crucial strikes, leaving India in deep trouble at 61/4 in pursuit of 260. Jacob Duffy set the tone with a sensational double-wicket opening over to remove both Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan with just four runs on the board.
