Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 3rd T20I of the India vs New Zealand T20I series 2026 between IND vs NZ to be played in Guwahati.

The cricketing world witnessed an extraordinary batting performance by Team India in Raipur in the second T20I against New Zealand. They chased down 209 runs in 15.2 overs and registered the fastest 200+ T20I chase by the test-playing nations.

Ishan Kishan showed his good form that he was carrying from SMAT 2025-26, and captain Suryakumar Yadav recorded a long-awaited T20I fifty. It was carnage by these two, and India made a mockery of the target to humiliate New Zealand.

With a 2-0 lead, India are scheduled to take on New Zealand in the third game, which will be played on Sunday at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. The Kiwi skipper admitted that they need beyond 200 runs to stop this Indian side. So, we might see some different tactics from the visitors, while India will look to cruise to another win in Guwahati.
