NZ vs IND 3rd T20I HIGHLIGHTS - India thump New Zealand to seal the series
India have taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match series by winning the first two matches. After a record chase in the first game, Team India also won the second clash in a thrilling display. India’s lower order performed brilliantly in both matches.
Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Naman Dhir took India home. The Kiwis have been inconsistent under pressure. Especially in the 2nd game, they were close to a win but let the momentum slip away.
Now, they need to win all three remaining games to win the series. Meanwhile, India will look to clinch the series, which will also be Shreyas Iyer’s first bilateral series win as T20I captain in SENA countries.
The third game will begin at 12:30 PM IST on Tuesday at Hnry Stadium, Wellington. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is likely to get another game, while New Zealand have rested Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson (third match). So, the hosts will be looking to make a couple of changes to their bowling unit.
