In the fourth T20I match against New Zealand, Team India suffered a defeat by 50 runs at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

After the match, the hosts` skipper, Suryakumar Yadav, said that the management purposely played with six batsmen, as they wanted to see how things would go if India lost early wickets while chasing a target of 180 or 200 runs.
