IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 3rd, India vs New Zealand ODI series 2026

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

New Zealand bounced back well to beat India in the second ODI in Rajkot. Daryl Mitchell led the charge with a splendid century as he slammed his third hundred in the last five ODI innings against India.

The Indian bowlers once again looked toothless and were taken apart by the Kiwi batters. The series is evenly poised at 1-1, and the two teams will now lock horns with each other in the series decider on Sunday.

This contest will be held at Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. New Zealand are just one win away from scripting history, as this could be their maiden bilateral series win in India in this format. But India are expected to make a comeback after a poor defeat.
