Live - IND vs NZ: Glenn Phillips, Bracewell shift gears as New Zealand accelerate - India vs New Zealand Live Score: New Zealand face another stern test of their bowling attack as they take on India in the fourth T20I at Eden Park, Auckland, on Friday, October 30. India have already secured an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series after producing three successful run chases, including a commanding victory in Wellington, where they chased down 199 in just 13.2 overs.

The defending T20 World Cup champions have continued to showcase their explosive batting depth, with Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi leading the charge in the previous match. Their aggressive approach has left New Zealand searching for answers, particularly after the hosts' seamers conceded runs at an economy rate of 12.85 against India in T20Is this year.

Mitchell Santner's side will need to find a way to contain India's top order if they are to prevent a series whitewash. The challenge is made tougher by the absence of injured fast bowlers Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry. Nathan Smith is expected to return after missing the third T20I, while Kyle Jamieson is set to feature in the Ford Trophy.

Eden Park's compact straight boundaries could offer another high-scoring contest, although the larger square boundaries and rectangular playing area will require smart bowling plans and field placements.

India, meanwhile, could use the remaining matches to rotate their squad after sealing the series. Mayank Yadav may get another opportunity, while Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy and Shivam Dube are yet to feature.

The fourth T20I offers New Zealand a chance to respond, but India's batting firepower makes them formidable opponents.
