New Zealand National Cricket Team vs India National Cricket Team Match: India captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and chose to field in the fourth T20I against New Zealand at the ACA-VDCA Stadium on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. The hosts made a change to their playing XI after Ishan Kishan picked up a niggle in the previous match. Yadav brought in Arshdeep Singh to strengthen the bowling attack. India have dominated the series so far and hold an unassailable 3-0 lead. New Zealand, meanwhile, will look to avoid a clean sweep in the remaining matches. The series provides both teams with an opportunity to prepare and fine-tune their combinations ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup.Suryakumar Yadav said the pitch looked good and expected the dew to play a role in the second innings. "We’re going to bowl first. It looks like a good wicket, and we’ll get a chance to practise here later. There was a lot of dew last night and today it’s a little humid as well, so we feel that in the second innings the ball will come onto the bat nicely. I think the important thing is to repeat the good habits we’ve built over the past year, not just in this series. We want to keep doing the good things we’ve been doing, learn from the last game, and go out there, enjoy ourselves, play the format the way it’s meant to be played, and entertain the people who’ve come here. It’s a beautiful ground and a lovely crowd here. Hopefully the boys are charged up and we have a good, entertaining night. Arshdeep comes in for Ishan Kishan, who picked up a niggle in the last game. Axar Patel still needs a bit more time, so hopefully we’ll see him in the next game. The batters will need to take a bit more responsibility, but at the same time not shy away from playing with fearless intent. We’ve got five good bowling options today, so we’ll see how it goes," SKY said. New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner said the pitch looked good but highlighted the challenge of bowling against a strong Indian batting line-up. "It looks like a good wicket again. The dew has already kind of set in, so it might be a bit harder later on. The runs and scores are definitely evolving. We know the quality of this Indian side, and we’ve seen that in the first three games. We need to be better with the ball. First up, though, it looks like a good wicket, so we’ll try to set a strong total tonight. Most of the guys are already here playing this series. Lockie is still out, and Finn (Allen) is on his way, so we’ve got a couple of additions still to come. But the roles are pretty clear, and we’ll probably get similar wickets in the World Cup. One change - Foulkes comes in for Jamieson. Lockie and Finn are still a little way off, but it’s good to have them coming back," Santner said.
