India vs New Zealand 2019: 4th ODI, Seddon Park, Hamilton - Match Prediction

India vs New Zealand 2019: 4th ODI, Seddon Park, Hamilton – Match Prediction; It is time for a dead rubber but has got a lot of things to look into. A perfect time for the Indian National Cricket Team to test their reserve players while Kiwis needs to win the game to save their pride at home. Currently, India is leading the 5-match bilateral series with an unassailable lead of 3-0.

India has been absolutely clinical and has already clinched the series, taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in the ODI series. India has been quite ruthless and has exposed New Zealand at every given opportunity. This is the first time in almost a decade that India have won a series in New Zealand.

A good chance to look into the reserve bench:

With the series already wrapped up, the Men in Blue has a chance to look ahead, especially towards the Cricket World Cup which is scheduled to begin in May in England. Keeping the intercontinental tournament in mind, India will be giving chances to its fringe players who have been sitting on the bench.

The next two ODIs will be the perfect chance for these players to prove and earn themselves a spot in the World Cup squad. However, they have got no concerns whatsoever going into the 4th ODI of the game. If there can be anything, it would be the selection of batting order.

On the other hand, New Zealand Cricket Team have got a lot of concerns to answer. Their batting performance is below par and looked clueless against Indian bowling section. 

Kane Williamson & Co will have an uphill task at hand to make a comeback in the series. In a bid to do that, they have brought Jimmy Neesham and Todd Astle in the playing XI. However, with no Virat Kohli in the opposition, Kiwis would get a decent chance.

Match Prediction:

Well, Indians have shown their dominance in the first three games. But, the upcoming contest is going to be a different one, as they might rest a few regular players. This would give a good chance for Kane Williamson side to get their first point in the kitty. However, India would once again enter into the game as favourites.
