The results for Team India were not favourable as they were defeated by New Zealand by 7 wickets and the second One-Day International was called off in Hamilton owing to heavy rains. To tie the three-match ODI series, the Men in Blue now need need to win this third game.
India captain Shikhar Dhawan disclosed that they are continuing with the same playing lineup that appeared during the most recent game in Hamilton after losing his third consecutive toss and being asked to bat first. Sanju Samson, who played in the first ODI of the series against New Zealand before being benched after scoring 36 runs off of 38 balls, will likewise continue to sit on the sidelines as a result.
After already taking the wickets of the opening pair, Adam Milne once more distinguished himself to secure his third wicket. Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed cheaply for 6 runs after failing to turn his innings into a productive strategy.
In the prior, Rishabh Pant too attempted to hit a huge shot out of annoyance at having to defend the deliveries, but he failed and had to return to the pavilion.
India currently has 110 runs on the board but has lost 4 wickets. Given that they are doing less than one would expect from such a strong opponent, the blues would like to add more runs to their total.
