The series decider India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI will be held on Sunday, January 18 at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. With the series currently tied at 1-1, the stakes are very high. The Black Caps are looking to achieve a historic milestone: their first ODI series win on Indian soil, following their recent Test success.
The Indian cricket team is entering this final with a strong batting order. Key players Shubman Gill and KL Rahul Has returned to form, while Virat Kohli remains a constant threat. However, fans are keen to see a big score from Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer, who have struggled to convert starts into big scores. While the Indian fast bowling attack has held its own, the spinners have faced criticism for not being effective in the middle overs. To secure the trophy, India’s slow bowlers will have to find their rhythm in Indore.
New Zealand’s team looks more balanced, with Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell Leading a disciplined batting. Their bowling unit has been effective, with the spinners being successful in restricting runs while the fast bowlers are consistently taking wickets. Despite having less experience than the hosts, the Blackcaps enter the decider with significant momentum.
