Suryakumar Yadav has been on a roll ever since taking up India's captaincy in the shortest format, the latest example of which has been the IND vs NZ T20I series.

While not always firing with the bat, he has been exceptional as skipper, having now won seven consecutive T20I bilateral series, as well as the Asia Cup.

Beating New Zealand with 8 wickets in Guwahati, the Men in Blue still have two more fixtures to play in the series, which they have already clinched comfortably.

IND vs NZ 4th T20I: Action To Kick Off In Vizag

Vizag's ACA-VDCA Stadium will host the India vs New Zealand 4th T20I today, January 28, 2026.

This venue has been pretty positive for the home team in this format, as they have three matches played here.

Notably, India recently played against South Africa at the ACA-VDCA Stadium, albeit in the One Day International (ODI) format, emerging on the victorious end with a brilliant century from Yashasvi Jaiswal, and a quick-fire fifty from Virat Kohli.

Both players are not a part of this IND vs NZ series, but those who are, such as Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, as well as the captain, Suryakumar Yadav, have been firing on all cylinders too.

Needless to say, fans would be hoping for yet another exciting showdown, as both teams gear up not just for the series, but also for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.

IND vs NZ Live Score: New Zealand Win!

Kuldeep Yadav's soft dismissal means New Zealand have won their first match of the series by 50 runs.

The series is already settled in India's favour, but this is one of those nights when nothing worked for them. Batsmen threw their wickets away after being settled and that is exactly what has cost them this fixture.

Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh brewed genuine hope in the middle, but once they were gone, it was all over as the tailenders failed put up any threat whatsoever.

Neat fielding and fine spells from Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry did the trick for New Zealand as they finally have something positive to take back with themselves.

The IND vs NZ T20I series now reads 3-1, with the final match set to be held in a couple of days from now.
