New Zealand v India: Fourth ODI Set for Bay Oval
New Zealand and India are scheduled to play the fourth one-day international (ODI) of their men's series on 13 November 2026. The match is due to be played at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, and it is set to start at 02:00 GMT, according to the BBC Sport scorecard.
An ODI is a 50-over match, with each side batting once. That makes it a day-long contest that usually runs for several hours, with bowlers and batters both trying to shape the innings from the first ball.
The two teams will be confirmed at the toss, the coin flip that decides which side bats first. Until then, the starting line-ups have not been announced, so any talk of who will play is unconfirmed.
For fans in New Zealand, the start time falls in the afternoon. For those in the UK, it is the middle of the night, so many will follow the early overs on a live scorecard or in highlights.
Bay Oval has a reputation as a ground where the ball can move and where batters have to adjust early, though how the pitch plays on the day will depend on the conditions and the toss. Any result will show up on the official scorecard once play begins.
