India won the opening two matches, and looked to seal the series in the third, which was washed out due to rain. The home team then came back storming in the fourth match to pull one back in their name. Expect a thrilling finale at Mount Maunganui today.

Siraj returns
He played just four ODIs this year -- three against New Zealand at home in January and just one against West Indies last month. He's back in the XI with India looking to test the bench. He will be supported by debutant Yash Thakur.
"Obviously, Siraj has also been craving an opportunity to play in all formats. He's been around the team for a while and is pretty experienced. He's played over the years, so he knows how to go about things," Iyer said at the toss.

New Zealand have 4 seamers again
"I am not sure of that, didn't expect to win. We are going to bowl because of maybe some dew later on. Henry and Jamieson is gone, Duff is back, so four seamers again. It's about building the depth," said Santner after winning the toss.
