India has sealed the five-match T20 series in New Zealand by winning the first three matches and taking an unassailable lead.
The fourth encounter of the series will take place at Eden Park in Auckland on Friday.
Hosts New Zealand will play to defend their pride on home soil.
Led by Shreyas Iyer, the Indian team has nothing to lose and is set to play fearlessly.
Eden Park is renowned for its unique drop-in pitch.
The boundaries are short, with square boundaries measuring around 65 meters and straight boundaries at 55 meters, aiding batters in hitting sixes.
Pacers may find initial swing and seam movement with the new ball under sub-tropical or cloudy conditions.
Batters have generally dominated here as true bounce favors aggressive stroke play.
Slower balls might grip the surface, setting the stage for a high-scoring encounter.
Similar to Wellington, strong winds could pose challenges in Auckland.
Winds of about 32 km/h are expected on Friday, along with a 25 percent chance of rain and cloud cover.
While rain may cause minor interruptions, spectators can expect to enjoy the full match.
