​Eden Park has never needed much encouragement to turn a T20 into a slugfest, and India come in Auckland on Friday with the series already won and a batting line-up that has stopped bothering with ceilings.In Wellington, Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi helped India chase 199 in 13.2 overs, plundering 118 in the first six, the highest powerplay score in men’s T20Is.Now they face straight boundaries so short that they fall below the ICC minimum of 59.43 metres, and the ground survives only because it existed before the rule did. New Zealand must respond without Lockie Ferguson, who has joined Matt Henry and Zak Foulkes on the injury list. MORE: Virat Kohli vs Babar Azam: Who is the greatest?New Zealand vs. India 4th T20I prediction: Who will win?Without Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry and Zak Foulkes, they hand the ball to Matt Fisher or Blair Tickner and ask them to defend straight boundaries that barely clear the rope. India, scoring at 10.45 an over this year against New Zealand’s 9.37, will fancy their chances even if Kuldeep, Varun or Dube come in for a rest. Abhishek, Sooryavanshi, Samson and Iyer still wait.Finn Allen and Bevon Jacobs may get the home fans roaring, but a 22-11 head-to-head record and a LLLWL form line point one way.
