New Zealand secured a commanding 87-run victory over India in the fourth T20I at Eden Park, Auckland. Glenn Phillips was the star of the match, smashing a blistering 46-ball century, the joint second-fastest against India in T20I history. He was supported by Michael Bracewell, who contributed a rapid 65 runs off just 25 balls, including a remarkable 32-run over. Their partnership powered New Zealand to a formidable total of 259.
Chasing a steep target, India's batting lineup faltered. They lost key wickets early, including openers Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan for ducks. Abhishek Sharma managed 27, but regular wickets in the middle order prevented any significant chase. Jacob Duffy was the pick of the bowlers for New Zealand, claiming four crucial wickets to dismantle India's batting lineup and secure the emphatic win.
