NZ vs IND 4th ODI: Top 3 bowlers to watch out for

India head into the 4th ODI of the five-match series against New Zealand holding a 2-0 advantage, with the match scheduled at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on November 13, 2026. The first two completed games were won in Auckland and Wellington respectively, while rain washed out proceedings in Hamilton for the 3rd ODI.

A win at Bay Oval would give India an unassailable 3-0 lead, whereas New Zealand must win to stay alive in the contest. India's fast bowlers have been central to the team's dominance, collectively accounting for 17 of the 20 New Zealand wickets that fell across the two completed matches.

Here are three bowlers worth watching closely in the 4th ODI:

3. Auqib Nabi

Auqib Nabi, India's right-arm pacer, had a quiet start to the series, going wicketless in the 1st ODI in Auckland. He responded in Wellington, however, picking up two wickets in the 2nd ODI to provide important breakthroughs for the side.

Through the first two matches, Nabi has bowled 13 overs in the series, conceding 64 runs and finishing with a series average of 32.00. With the pitch at Bay Oval expected to offer something for the seamers, Nabi will be looking to build on his Wellington showing and add to his tally.
