New Zealand Defeat India by 50 Runs in 4th T20I; Dube's Fifty in Vain

  • New Zealand defeated India by 50 runs in the 4th T20I, with India bundled out for 165 while chasing 216.
  • Shivam Dube scored a dazzling 65 off 23 balls, including seven sixes, but his effort was not enough to secure a win for India.
  • India's chase started poorly, losing Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav early, leaving them at 9 for 2.
  • Rinku Singh (39) and Sanju Samson tried to stabilize the innings, but Hardik Pandya also failed to make an impact.
  • Dube's innings included a 29-run over off Ish Sodhi and a 15-ball fifty, briefly reigniting hopes before his dismissal sealed India's fate.

Why It Matters: Despite Shivam Dube's explosive fifty, India lost the 4th T20I to New Zealand by 50 runs.
