- 2nd T20I: India won by 7 wickets with 28 balls left (Chased 208/6)
- 3rd T20I: India won by 8 wickets with 60 balls left (Chased 153/9)
In the most recent match, India needed just 10 overs to record an emphatic series victory. Having decided to bowl first, Jasprit Bumrah took 3/17 from 4 overs, while Ravi Bishnoi took 2/18 from 4 overs. Hardik Pandya had 2/23 from 3 overs.
Glenn Phillips knocked off 48 from 40 balls, but it wasn't enough for NZ. An unbeaten 68 (from 20 balls) by Abhishek Sharma and a score of 57 not out from Suryakumar Yadav (off 26 balls) put the Kiwis to the sword on a pitch that has traditionally been favourable to batters.
India v New Zealand 4th T20I Cricket Betting Predictions
When making our India v New Zealand 4th T20I betting predictions, we think it is worth looking at the record held at the upcoming venue to potentially identify value in the odds being offered.
In T20I matches, India have played three times at the ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, winning twice and losing once. The highest run total was 179/5 (win against South Africa in 2022), while the lowest run total was 126/7 (loss against Australia in 2019). With this in mind, we think the runs scored market could offer value around 180+, given the batting power of both teams.
Abhishek Sharma is good value to be the top scorer for India after his quick-fire 68. He has scored 152 across the three games, having hit 84 in the first before being out for a golden duck in the second.
Regarding the match winner, we predict India will likely win. India has been dominant so far this series, and we think it's unlikely they'll lose this one based on how well they've been performing.
