Recently, India hasn’t played their best ODI cricket against New Zealand. In the last five ODI matches, the Men in Blue have lost to the Kiwis. Both the highly publicized semifinal encounter and the pre-World Cup game fall under this category.
The three-match series against a New Zealand team that was missing players like Trent Boult, Matt Henry, and Kane Williamson was now lost by Virat Kohli and company. The Indian captain made a suggestion that India might use a different lineup for the third game in the post-game interview for the second game.
New Zealand vs India, 3rd ODI Preview
New Zealand:
The third and final ODI match will be played in Christchurch, where the Kiwis presently hold a 1-0 series lead. New Zealand has a chance to win the series with a victory here after the second ODI was canceled due to inclement weather. However, if it washed out, the home team would win because they were in the lead.
India:
Shikhar and his side will be attempting to grab a victory here in order to draw the series at the very least after a defeat and a washout. India suffered from poor bowling in the first game, while there was no outcome in the second.
