India Opts to Bowl First in 4th T20

In the 4th T20 match between India and New Zealand, India won the toss and decided to bowl first.

The team thinks the pitch is good, and they want to practice there later.

They believe bowling first will help them because the ball will come onto the bat nicely in the second innings.

India wants to keep doing well and learn from their last game.

They also want to play in a fun and exciting way to entertain the crowd.

Arshdeep Singh is playing instead of Ishan Kishan, who got a small injury.

Axar Patel is still recovering and might play in the next game.

The batters need to take more responsibility, but they should still play without fear.

India has five good bowlers for this match.
