Eden Park Set for Another High-Scoring Game as India Chase 4-0 Lead

India take on New Zealand in the fourth T20I at Eden Park in Auckland on Friday at 12:30 PM IST, with the hosts trying to avoid a fourth straight defeat and India chasing a 4-0 lead in the five-match series.

Eden Park is known as a high-scoring ground with short boundaries, especially straight down the ground, and the average first-innings score in T20Is here is around 162 across 33 matches.

Fast bowlers can find help with the new ball, but they will need slower balls and variations at the death, while spinners face a tough job with so little room to defend on the small ground.

Abhishek Sharma comes into the game in fine form after his 113 off 38 balls in Wellington, and New Zealand will again be without injured fast bowlers Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry.
