New Zealand will square off against India in the fourth T20I at the Eden Park, Auckland on Friday. The visitors have already sealed the series by 3-0 after winning the last game by six wickets with 40 balls to spare.
The Indian batters have ticked the right boxes in the first three games and they would look to continue the good show. However, the bowlers of both teams will have their work cut out as Eden Park has small boundaries.
Abhishek and Sooryavanshi were at their brutal best in the last game as they added 133 runs off just 43 balls.
On the other hand, New Zealand bowlers will need to come up with an improved performance.

Indian captain Shreyas Iyer needs eight fours to complete 150 boundaries in T20Is.
Kuldeep Yadav needs two wickets to complete 100 scalps in T20Is.
