Open poll and resultsNew Zealand vs India prediction
Finally, a big batting performance from New Zealand ended in a winning cause, as they took the fourth game of this five-match series by 87 runs. New Zealand’s score of 259/7, batting first, was their highest of the series and only the second time they have passed 200. The scorching-hot Glenn Phillips once again took centre stage, smashing ten sixes in his 107. This time, India’s batters couldn’t get close, ending on 172/9 to seal an 87-run win for the Black Caps.
Across this series, India have been the better team, having tasted victory in the opening three fixtures, so they cannot be overhauled. You would still expect them to respond well to defeat though. Expect their bowlers to find their range and improve their cutting edge, and provided they can keep Phillips quiet, it would be no surprise to see India have the final word.
