India and New Zealand meet for the fourth T20I in their five-match series on Jan. 28. India have won the first three matches of the series in emphatic fashion, with blistering innings from Suryakumar Yadav and Abhishek Sharma.
Jacob Duffy, Kyle Jamieson, and several other New Zealand bowlers have gone the distance in this series. The tourists, who won the ODI series, have been blown away by India.

India vs. New Zealand Predictions
I predict India will take a 4-0 lead on Wednesday. The hosts are heavy favourites in the latest cricket betting odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook, and there has been a real chasm between the two sides in the first three matches of this series.
India may opt to give Jasprit Bumrah a rest after he played in the third game of this series, but their other bowlers have still posed enough of a threat against this Kiwi batting lineup.
Harshit Rana and Kuldeep Yadav have been wicket-taking threats, while Hardik Pandya has been effective.
In contrast, Jamieson, Duffy, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, and Mitchell Santner have gone at 10 or more runs per over. India have relentlessly powered the New Zealanders to the boundary, with Sanju Samson the only Indian batter struggling for form.
Given his spectacular form, including scores of 82 and 57 (both not out) in the last two matches, Suryakumar is excellent value at +200 to score a half-century on Wednesday.
He’s had 27 50+ scores in international T20s and is one of the hardest batters in the world to bowl to when he’s scoring so effectively all around the ground.
Kuldeep to be India’s top bowler stands out at +310. The first three matches have shown New Zealand needs to be even more aggressive with the bat. They will either be chasing 200+ or need to try and set India 220+ on Wednesday. Going for big shots makes Kuldeep even more of a wicket-taking threat with his variations.
It’s not that India are unstoppable in T20 cricket or that New Zealand are a bad team by any means. This just feels like a mismatch in Indian conditions, and it’s hard to see how the tourists win a match in this series.
