The 4th ball was a rank full toss and should have gone over any of the fielders in the 30 yard circle.
Jayasurya was hurrying through the overs and it surprised me that however inexperienced the Kiwi tail/batsmen were, they didn't try to slow it down.

There was a rank full toss in the Vaas over prior to this too andguess what, it got the wicket. What was funnier was that Vaas tied the scores with a wide down the legside
A comedy of errors!
