Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 3rd T20I of the India tour of New Zealand 2026 between NZ vs IND to be played in Wellington.
Two games and two excellent chases by the No. 1-ranked T20I side. India have produced two great wins and taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series. They are just one win away from sealing the series.
The third T20I will be at 12:30 PM IST on Tuesday at Hnry Stadium in Wellington. Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson are not available for New Zealand in this game. They will have to find a new bowling combination.
Their bowling and catching have been disappointing. After the defeat, captain Mitchell Santner looked gutted. They need a quick turnaround to stay alive in the series. Team India have found various match-winners, and their strategy of maintaining a long batting lineup has proven effective.
