Seifert Praises India's Young Pace Attack After New Zealand's ODI Struggles
New Zealand batter Tim Seifert praised India's young pace attack ahead of the teams' fourth ODI.
India dismissed New Zealand for 185 and 134 in the first two matches, and leads the series 2-0 after the third game was washed out.
Seifert said the bowlers, including left-armer Arshdeep Singh, have different strengths but work well together and bowl disciplined lines.
He also credited them with adapting to challenging conditions in New Zealand despite limited international experience.
India will be without regular captain Shubman Gill and KL Rahul for the last two games, with Shreyas Iyer leading the side for the first time in an ODI.
New Zealand has made several changes too as players join preparations for the teams' upcoming Test series.
Seifert said the matches also give New Zealand a chance to build as a team ahead of next year's World Cup.

To be honest, they all bowl very well, they all do something slightly different
But to their credit, they’ve come to New Zealand and adapted to these wickets and hats off to them.
