India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI: Match preview, toss timings, live streaming

After a disappointing loss, India might look for a few changes in their playing 11 for the third ODI match

After a thrilling second match that saw the visitors level the three-match series 1-1, India and New Zealand will come face to face in the third and final ODI today, at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore, with the series on the line.  India skipper Shubman Gill has won the toss and decided to field first on the day.  If the Kiwis manage to secure a win two years after winning their first Test series in India, they will also be able to seal their first ODI series win on Indian soil. 

 

India team news

Despite the loss in the second ODI, the Indian squad looks almost perfect. Skipper Shubman Gill and vice-captain Shreyas Iyer are back in form, while Virat Kohli is looking in fine touch. KL Rahul is providing support in the later half of the innings. However, former skipper Rohit Sharma, after two scores in the 20s in the series, will feel he is due for some runs.  Check IND vs NZ 3rd ODI LIVE SCORE UPDATES and full scorecard here

 

The Indian pacers are performing decently, but the issue remains with the spinners, who are looking ineffective. So, if India want to win the third match and the series, the spinners need to take wickets in Indore. On top of that, Washington Sundar’s injury has also caused an issue for India, as his replacement Nitish Reddy will most probably have his last chance to prove his worth in the squad before the team management looks for other alternatives.

New Zealand team news

The Kiwis have looked good on all fronts. Their top order of Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Will Young and Daryl Mitchell has all looked in good form. Their spinners are containing runs in the middle overs, while the pacers are taking wickets in all phases.

 

The visitors will feel they are the favourites in the third match despite being way below India in terms of experience. They do not need to look for any changes in their playing XI, but whether they can secure their maiden ODI series win in India remains to be seen.
