A proper washout at Seddon Park in Kirikiriroa meant that India stuck to a 2-0 lead in the five-match ODI series against the Blackcaps. A washout in the last game also meant that India can’t lose the series from here, whereas the hosts, New Zealand, can only draw level from here, as winning the series from this point is out of reach. The caravan of the series will now move to Mount Maunganui in Bay Oval for the fourth ODI of the series. A win in this game for Team India would mean a series win for the visitors, whereas New Zealand can’t afford to lose this game, as that would mean a series loss for them. In this post, we have come up with free expert tips for the 4th ODI, NZ vs IND, at Mount Maunganui, Bay Oval.
New Zealand heads into this contest with a lot on the line. One more loss and their slim chances of drawing level in the series will be over. Meanwhile, India enters this contest with a vision, i.e., taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. They are already in a safe place with two wins in three games and can’t lose the series from this point. Therefore, the confidence Team India is carrying heading into this contest is immense, and they should have the win probability meter favoring them ahead of this contest.

IND: 52% win chance NZ: 48% win chance
The right-hand opening batter haven't had the best of the series so far. However, with a lot of key players missing, Young will be entitled to take responsibility with the bat upfront.
Virat Kohli kicked off the series with a fabulous fifty and stands at the second spot behind Daryl Mitchell for most runs so far in the series. The experienced batter remains a vital cog in this game.
Rohit hasn't fired yet in the series so far. However, given the stature he carries as an experienced batter, expect the 39-year-old to have a good game in Mount Maunguanui.
Nic is expected to bat at no 3 in place of Henry Nicholls in this game. An impressive young talent, Nic has amassed 209 runs in his last 4 ODI outings at a brilliant average of 52.25. He will be a crucial bet in this game.
Check out our prediction for the NZ vs IND 4th ODI match at Mount Maunganui, Bay Oval.
India will head to Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui with their sights firmly set on sealing the ODI series against New Zealand. The rain-enforced washout at Seddon Park ensured that the visitors maintained their 2-0 lead in the five-match contest, leaving the hosts with no chance of winning the series. New Zealand can now only hope to level matters, while India know that one more victory will be enough to wrap up the series with a game to spare.
The visitors, however, will take the field with a slightly altered squad. Anshul Kamboj, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul have all been released to begin preparations for the upcoming two-match Test series, handing Shreyas Iyer the responsibility of leading the side. The middle-order batter has already shown his leadership credentials and will be eager to guide India to another impressive overseas series triumph.
India have enjoyed success at Bay Oval in the past and will back themselves to continue that trend. With momentum on their side and a balanced squad at their disposal, the Men in Blue will be determined to deliver a clinical performance and secure an unassailable lead in the series.
New Zealand find themselves with no room for error as the ODI series heads to Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. Having already conceded a 2-0 lead to India, Mitchell Santner’s men must win this contest to keep their hopes of drawing the series alive. While a series victory is now out of reach, the hosts can still salvage pride by winning the remaining two matches and ending the series on level terms.
The Kiwis have shown flashes of brilliance throughout the series but have struggled to string together complete performances. Their batting unit has failed to capitalize on key moments, while the bowlers have often been left with little margin for error against a strong Indian lineup. With the series entering its business end, New Zealand will need their senior players to step up and deliver under pressure.
A victory at Bay Oval would not only keep the series alive but also provide a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the final ODI. Playing in familiar home conditions, Santner and his side will be determined to produce their best cricket and ensure the contest remains alive heading into the fifth and final match. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
