Get here all latest updates from the fourth T20I game between India and New Zealand.
India vs New Zealand, 4th T20I: India look to continue piling misery on New Zealand in the penultimate game of the five-T20I series at Eden Park, Auckland.

New Zealand, on the other hand, will be depleted in their bowling department after injuries to Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson. With Eden Park having the shortest straight boundaries in the world, it appears there is no end in sight to their troubles.

Tilak explains his batting approach ahead of the game
“I always had the power game. Initially, what I used to do at No.3 — where I have scored two centuries -- I wanted to set the momentum for the batters after me. Now, when I bat at No.5 and No.6, I want to take the game deep. If the ball is there to hit, I hit, but initially, I take time, focusing on singles, doubles and piercing the gaps. I tell the player at the other end to go all out. Now I have played quite a few matches for India, so I tell young players to hit. When we are in that phase of real pressure towards the very end, then I take the responsibility to score fast and help the team win."
