India-New Zealand fourth ODI on Nov 13 at Mount Maunganui, rain chance put at 1 per cent

The ODI series between India and New Zealand has reached a decisive stage. Two matches have been played so far and one was abandoned. Rain disrupted the first three matches, and not a single ball could be bowled in the third, which was called off. India already lead the series 2-0, so the fourth match is important for both teams. The question now is whether rain will interfere with the fourth ODI at Mount Maunganui.

The fourth ODI will be played at Mount Maunganui on November 13. India will try to win the match and take the series. New Zealand, on their home ground, will aim to bounce back and save face. The weather could, however, play a big part in the match.

According to the weather forecast, the sky is expected to be completely clear on November 13. It will be sunny through the day, and the chance of rain on match day is put at just 1 per cent. Spectators could therefore get to see a full 50-over contest. However, a 55 per cent chance of rain has been forecast for Mount Maunganui on November 12, so all eyes will be on whether it rains on match day.

On the teams, India's playing eleven for the fourth ODI may change. Shreyas Iyer will captain the side in the fourth and fifth matches. Shubman Gill is preparing for a Test match. New Zealand's side may also see changes.

The match will start at 7:30 am as usual. The toss for this match will be at 7:00 am.

India's squad for the fourth and fifth ODIs is Shreyas Iyer (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper and vice-captain), Axar Patel, Naman Dhir, Aaqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Yash Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav.
