IND vs NZ: List of all records broken in the 4th T20I in Vizag

The Indian Cricket Team didn’t have a great outing in the fourth T20I against the New Zealand Cricket Team. The match between the two teams took place at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, January 28.

The Indian Cricket Team, which entered the series on the back of three back-to-back wins, didn’t have a great outing with the ball. They opted to field, and then ended up giving 215 runs in the 20 overs with Arshdeep Singh being the pick of the bowlers.

Then with the bat, India had the worst possible start to their innings. Abhishek Sharma got out on the first ball. Soon after that, captain Suryakumar Yadav fell for eight as India came under pressure. Sanju Samson (24) tried to get going but his poor form continued.

With the team under pressure, Rinku Singh (39) tried to play the anchor role but couldn’t hold his ground for long. India were left struggling at 82 for five, but it was Shivam Dube, who was at his best and slammed a brutal half-century, entertaining the crowd.

He slammed a 15-ball fifty and registered the third fastest half-century for India. But, his unfortunate run out at non striker’s end changed the game as Black Caps asserted their authority. They ended India’s innings at 165 to win the game by 50 runs.
