India vs New Zealand 4th T20 Highlights: New Zealand restored some pride with a dominant 50-run victory in Visakhapatnam after conceding an unassailable 0-3 lead in the five-match T20I series against India. Shivam Dube came to India’s rescue with a 23-ball 65, completing his half-century in just 15 balls, but the Men in Blue crumbled quickly after the all-rounder was run out in an unfortunate fashion. Earlier in the evening, Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets each but New Zealand still managed to fire 215/7 in 20 overs. Tim Seifert hit a brilliant 62 while his opening partner Devon Conway also got a crucial 44. Daryl Mitchell helped New Zealand finish well with an unbeaten 39 from 18 balls.

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE Score: OUT! Dube's breathtaking knock comes to an end in a heartbreaking fashion!

After a tidy over by Foulkes in which he concedes just five runs against the run of play, Dube smashes Henry for a six and a four in the first three balls of the 15th – smashing the ball over long on in the first delivery. Dube, however, is run-out at the non-striker’s end in the final delivery after the ball brushes Henry’s fingers before crashing into the stumps after a powerful shot down the ground by Rana. Dube was taking evasive action, and found himself well outside the crease as a result. IND 145/6; need 71 off 30

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE Score: Shivam Dube smashes 15-ball half-century – the third-fastest by an Indian in T20Is!

The southpaw smashes Duffy for two sixes in the pacer’s third over, the second one – a full toss flicked towards deep square leg – helping him complete his half-century in just 15 deliveries! Duffy had successfully appealed for LBW between those two sixes, with Dube appearing crestfallen while signalling for the review. For some reason, he had absolutely no idea about a thick inside edge off the toe-end of his bat, which forces the on-field umpire to reverse his decision. IND 129/5; need 87 off 42

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE Score: 2, 4, Wd, 6, 4, 6, 6! Ish Sodhi's smashed for 29 runs in one over after conceding just 12 in his previous two!

India are not out of this contest just yet, at least till Shivam Dube’s at the centre! The southpaw, who hasn’t really been tested in this series, is batting on 40 off 12 balls at the end of the 12th over after smashing the leg-spinner for three sixes and two fours! The Men in Blue might not have too many wickets left but the required rate certainly has  certainly come down after that over! IND 116/5 in 12; target: 100 off 48
January 28, 2026, 21:52:42 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE Score: OUT! Massive blow for India as Rinku (39 off 30) falls right after the drinks break!

Foulkes returns to the attack after the mid-innings break, and Rinku puts him under pressure right away by collecting a boundary with a glance towards fine leg in the second delivery.  The seamer, however, has the last laugh as he successsfully appeals for a leg-before the very next delivery. Rinku reviews, but gets three reds on ball-tracking. The southpaw was looking to paddle this towards fine leg but missed the ball completely. IND 82/5 in 10.3; target: 216
January 28, 2026, 21:44:33 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE Score: India 77/4 at the halfway stage, needing 139 off 60 with six wickets in hand

It certainly isn’t an impossible scenario for the Men in Blue, especially with Rinku Singh batting on 35 off 28 and Shivam Dube having struck Santner for a six in his first delivery of the evening. The Black Caps, however, are in the driver’s seat at the moment, and another wicket at this stage will effectively make it their game to lose. Rinku, Dube and the rest of the Indian batting order will have to bat out of their skins if they are to help the Men in Blue go 4-0 up in the series.

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE Score: BOWLED! Samson's promising start is cut short by Mitchell Santner!

Santner decides to introduce himself after the powerplay, and gets one to grip and turn that beats Samson’s outside edge and crashes into the top of middle!

Rinku helps himself to a boundary in the second ball with a swivel-pull off a short ball in the second delivery. The southpaw, however, gets a leading edge two balls later, with the ball flying towards backward point where the ball lands between Phillips’ palms for a fleeting second, only to pop out in the end. Samson later smashes the ball towards deep midwicket for a maximum that helps India breach the 50-mark at the end of the powerplay. IND 53/2 in 6; target: 216

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE Score: FOUR! Samson ruins what was turning out to be a superb over over from Ish Sodhi

Santner decides to introduce spin in the fifth over of India’s chase, but hands the ball to Sodhi instead of having a go himself. The leg-spinner keeps things tidy in the first five deliveries, conceding just five runs, before Samson cuts a slightly short delivery for a four. IND 41/2 after 5; target: 216
January 28, 2026, 21:19:28 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE Score: SIX! SIX! And now Rinku Singh breaks the shackles with back-to-back maximums off Foulkes!

Rinku, who had struck an unbeaten 44 off 20 balls in Nagpur and did not get to bat in Raipur and Guwahati, is off to a cautious start in Vizag considering the situation. However, it doesn’t take him long to break the shackles as he smashes Foulkes, who replaces Duffy in the fourth over, for back-to-back sixes – hammering the ball down the ground before taking the aerial route over point with a fierce cut. IND 32/2 after 4; target: 216
January 28, 2026, 21:14:07 (IST)

India vs New Zealand 4th T20 LIVE Score: Samson shifts gears with two boundaries in three balls!

Sanju Samson was under pressure heading into this contest after collecting just 16 runs across the first three games, and was off to a cautious start in the first couple of overs. He finally takes the attack to the Kiwi pacers with a couple of boundaries off Henry – going for an aerial drive past mid off that is followed by a flick behind square two balls later. Henry concedes nine in his second over. IND 18/2 in 3; target: 216

Surya joins Sanju Samson at the crease after Abhishek departs for a golden duck.

SKY, however, nearly chips the ball back to Henry in the final delivery of the over, with the ball landing marginally beyond Henry’s reach. IND 4/1 in 1; target: 216

Jasprit Bumrah is brought back into the attack and he straightaway makes an impact. Slower good length ball from Bumrah and Rachin Ravindra does not read it as he gives away a simple catch to the bowler through his forward defence. Another failure for Rachin.

NZ 100-0(8.1)

India vs New Zealand Live Score 4th T20: India face New Zealand in the penultimate T20I of the series on Wednesday, January 28, at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Vishakhapatnam. India have already won the series by winning the first three matches and are looking to further dominate the BlackCaps, who have been ordinary with both bat and ball in the series.

India completed a 154-run chase in just 10 overs to win the third T20I in Guwahati and take an unassailable lead in the five-match series. Before that, India had also chased down 209 in only 15.2 overs in the second game of the series. In the opening match, India had earned another solid 48-run victory.

With three convincing victories, India have further boosted their credentials as favourites to defend their T20 World Cup title. And will hope to extend the lead in the fourth T20 .

Suryakumar finds form in IND vz NZ series

Coming into the series, India’s biggest headache was the form of captain Suryakumar Yadav who had not scored a half-century in the entire 2025. However, he has returned to form and now has smashed two consecutive half-centuries without getting out in the last two matches. With Abhishek Sharma and other batters already breathing fire, the captain’s return to form further strengthens India.

The bowling too has looked brilliant so far, with back-ups like Harshit Rana and Ravi Bishnoi also showing their worth in the chances that they have got in the series.

However, India have to take a big call on Sanju Samson who has not scored enough in the first three T20Is. With Ishan Kishan in superb touch, India might be tempted to go towards the left-hander, especially if Samson does not score big in the final couple of matches.

New Zealand will be at full strength finally tonight, with Finn Allen also joining the squad. However, it remains to be seen if he can participate in tonight’s game. Anyways, it would be tough for them to compete if their bowling and batting both carry on in the way that it is doing so far. Captain Mitchell Santner will have to find his bowling form and the new ball pair of Jacob Duffy and Matt Henry also need to find more wickets early on.

IND vs NZ T20 Series Squads

New Zealand squad: Devon Conway, Tim Seifert (wk), Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner (c), Kyle Jamieson, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy, James Neesham, Michael Bracewell, Lockie Ferguson, Zakary Foulkes, Bevon Jacobs

India squad: Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh
