India seeks to clinch the ODI series against New Zealand in the fourth match at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on November 13, 2026, with Shreyas Iyer stepping in as captain.
India will aim to secure the five-match ODI series against New Zealand when they meet in the fourth ODI at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday, November 13, 2026. Currently leading the series 2-0 after winning the first two matches, with the third game in Hamilton being washed out, India needs just one more victory to clinch the series.
This match presents a new challenge for India, as Shreyas Iyer takes over the captaincy following Shubman Gill’s departure to prepare for the Test series. Ishan Kishan is expected to open the batting alongside Rohit Sharma, while Ruturaj Gaikwad and Tilak Varma are vying for a spot in the middle order. Additionally, Mohammed Siraj may return to bolster the pace attack.
On the other hand, New Zealand is eager to bounce back and keep the series alive after suffering the end of their 11-series home bilateral ODI winning streak. Mitchell Santner will lead a revamped squad, as several senior players, including Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, and Henry Nicholls, have left to prepare for the upcoming Test series. The hosts will rely on their new batting combination, particularly Tim Seifert and Finn Allen at the top, to challenge India’s bowling lineup.
With key players like Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan for India, the fourth ODI will be a crucial test for both teams. New Zealand aims to force a series decider, while India looks to wrap up the contest.
