India vs NeZ 4th T20I: Eden Park set for record 40,000 sell-out crowd

Auckland's Eden Park is poised to host approximately 40,000 spectators for the fourth T20I between India and New Zealand, a figure that would rank as the third-largest crowd in the stadium's history. This expected attendance surpasses the previous bilateral series record of 36,523, which was set at the same venue in 2019, and follows a string of sell-out crowds for the series.

India holds an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match contest after securing a six-wicket victory in the third game at Wellington. In that match, Abhishek Sharma scored 113 runs off 38 balls, including nine boundaries and 11 sixes, while partnering with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for a 133-run opening stand to chase down a target of 199 in 13.2 overs.
