Holkar Stadium in Indore is the venue of the third ODI between India and New Zealand.
The climax of the IND vs NZ ODI series has arrived as both teams are scheduled to square off in the third game of the three-match series. The action will now shift to Holkar Stadium in Indore, where both India and New Zealand will aim for a series victory.
The ODI series is tied 1-1 after two matches. The Men-in-Blue, captained by Shubman Gill, commenced the campaign on a winning note. After opting to bowl first in the first ODI at BCA Stadium in Vadodara, they chased down a 301-run target. Senior batter Virat Kohli played a pivotal role in team’s victory, crushing the Black Caps by seven wickets
However, the visitors made a stunning comeback in the second game in Rajkot after winning the toss and opting to bowl. This time, they did not allow hosts to go big, halting them at 284 in the first innings. After they lost both openers cheaply, Daryl Mitchell rescued the team from the early blow and hammered an unbeaten ton to take the team home by seven wickets.
Virat and Daryl were the heroes in the first and second matches respectively; winning the Player of the Match awards. Now, it will be interesting to watch who will be the stand-out performer in the third game and help his side to win the series-decider.
Moreover, it will be interesting to watch the battle among Virat, Daryl, and Rohit Sharma for the top spot in International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings for ODI batters. As of now, Kohli is at the top of the leaderboard and is followed by the rest two by a close margin.
