India and New Zealand will lock horns in the fourth T20I on Wednesday at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vizag. In the first three games, India have stamped their authority in emphatic fashion, racing to an unassailable lead and leaving New Zealand in a big mess.

For India, this series has been all about dominance. The Men in Blue have looked a cut above, outclassing New Zealand with fearless batting and skilled bowling. India set the tone in the opening game when they piled up a mammoth 238, registering a statement win. Since the first game, they have made light work of the chases, cruising home comfortably in the last two matches. This commanding run has also boosted India's morale and sent a clear warning to the rest of the teams ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Meanwhile, Sanju Samson finds himself under increasing pressure after registering three low scores in as many games. With Ishan Kishan making the most of his opportunities and delivering impactful performances at the top of the order, Sanju Samson has been under fire. The prospect of Kishan opening alongside Abhishek Sharma is no longer unlikely, and the remaining matches could prove decisive for Samson.

On the other hand, New Zealand have endured a frustrating tour so far. Nothing has gone their way, with their bowling and batting failing to challenge India. As they head into the fourth encounter, New Zealand will be desperate for a consolation win to restore some belief ahead of the T20 World Cup.
