After a washout in Hamilton, India will look to seal the series in the fourth ODI against New Zealand on Friday, November 13, at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. The Men in Blue are leading the series 2-0 after a four-run victory in the rain-affected second ODI by DLS method.
Batters from both sides have been tested so far in the series on spicy surfaces of Auckland and Wellington. However, Mount Maunganui is expected to be a bit of a relief for stroke makers. Both teams have had changes to their squads ahead of the match as preparations for the two-match Test series have begun.
New Zealand will have their backs against the wall as they’ve won 11 successive series at home. Their last defeat came against India in 2019, and they will be desperate to keep their unbeaten record intact.

Players to watch out for in NZ vs IND
Shreyas Iyer (IND):
Iyer will be leading India for the first time as Shubman Gill has left to prepare for the Test series. Iyer hasn’t had a great series so far, scoring 45 runs from two innings. His struggles against the short ball have resurfaced, and all eyes will be on Iyer to see how he fares in his first match as ODI captain.
Mitchell Santner (NZ):
The left-arm spinner hasn’t bowled in the series so far, with the pitches favouring pacers. However, with a longer game expected in Mount Maunganui, Mitchell Santner will look to make an impact in the upcoming fixture to help his team make a comeback.
