NZ vs IND, 3rd ODI Preview

The third and final ODI between New Zealand and India takes place on Wednesday afternoon in Christchurch. The first match was won by New Zealand at Eden Park, Auckland before rain forced an abandonment after less than 13 overs had been bowled in Hamilton in the second fixture. New Zealand have won 10 of 11 ODIs at the Hagley Oval and will fancy their chances of ending this series with another win. Their batting line-up is very strong in this format. India have never played an ODI at this venue but have enough quality in their pace bowling attack to be a threat on this pitch. They will be looking to end the tour with a victory.

We expect the surface to have some grass left on the wicket and to see movement off the pitch as well as through the air. A par score will be around 280. India’s entire tour of New Zealand has seen plenty of poor weather and there are likely to be rain interruptions in Christchurch as well. It will be cloudy and humid throughout.

• Lockie Ferguson– The pace bowler has his fitness carefully monitored but has gradually increased his workload over this year. He will enjoy bowling on this pitch.

Top Picks – India

• Shreyas Iyer– With the likes of Kohli, Sharma and Rahul out of the team, this game represents another opportunity for Iyer to dominate the batting for India.

NZ vs IND 3rd ODI Probable Winners:

The local conditions in New Zealand are very different compared to India and with humidity likely to be high, we expect plenty of swing for the quick bowlers. New Zealand will be best placed to take advantage of this. This ODI will bring an end to the India tour of New Zealand which has included IT20s, ODIs and plenty of rain. Both teams have pace bowlers who will be able to take advantage of cloudy conditions and the batting line-ups on both teams are very strong. New Zealand have an excellent record at this venue and we are predicting another victory for them. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.
