India vs New Zealand 4th ODI Live Score: Shreyas Iyer takes charge as stand-in skipper as visitors eye series win

India vs New Zealand 4th ODI Live Score: India will look to seal the five-match ODI series against New Zealand with a match to spare when the two teams lock horns in the fourth ODI in Mount Maunganui on Friday. The match will begin at 7.30 am IST (3 pm local time), with the toss set to take place at 7 am IST (2.30 pm local time).

The Men in Blue won the first two ODIs via the Duckworth Lewis-Stern (DLS) method whereas the third ODI in Hamilton was washed out due to rain without a ball being bowled.

Shreyas Iyer will captain India for the last two ODIs, with regular skipper Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Anshul Kamboj all having left for Wellington to prepare for the two-match Test series against the Kiwis. The first Test will be played in Wellington from 19 November, four days after the fifth and final ODI is played in Mount Maunganui.

New Zealand, too, will have several players leaving the ODI squad to prepare for the Test series. Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Henry Nicholls and Nathan Smith have all left the ODI squad to prepare for the Test series against India.

Blair Tickner, who was struck on the helmet during the second ODI on 7 November, is serving a mandatory seven-day concussion stand-down period. Matt Henry, who suffered a concussion following a collision with Devon Conway while training ahead of the ODI series, is fit to return for the fourth ODI.
