CAPTAINS ‘TAKE:
Virat Kohli (INDIA)
I reckon (we would have bowled). Looks like a nice track, it’s pretty hard, nice grass cover, the weather might have a say in the second innings, but toss isn’t in our control. Just put a clinical performance, carry forward the momentum and grab the chances that comes. Don’t worry about too many changes, just go out there and do the job. No changes once again, the boys did a good job with both bat and ball, no need to make any changes at all.
Kane Williamson (NEW ZEALAND)
We will bowl first. A new surface, hopefully, we will get something from it. Need to follow our plans, we are playing a strong side, a new ground, a new surface, do the job with the ball. One change, Scott Kuggeleijn is in, for Blair Tickner. Both offer pretty much the same, both bowl heavy balls, perhaps, Scott is a bit better batsman.
A toss win for Kane Williamson and we will bowl at Seddon Park in T I 3. #NZvIND https://t.co/1UzfnUWD1Z — BLACKCAPS (@BLACKCAPS) ()

New Zealand have won the toss and they will bowl first in the 3rd T I. #NZvIND https://t.co/l9nS0lK4PU BCCI (@BCCI) 1580283028000
It’s TOSS time, folks.
A third successive win at Seddon Park will give India their first ever T I series win on New Zealand soil , a feat they were unable to achieve on two occasions previously.
India lost 0-2 under Mahendra Singh Dhoni back in – , and last year, they went down 1-2.
Hello and welcome to the Live coverage of 3rd T 25 I between India and New Zealand at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
PREVIEW: A ruthless India are expected to seal their maiden T International series win in New Zealand and only a special comeback from the struggling hosts in the third game here on Wednesday can delay what seems inevitable.
# TeamIndia will take on the @BLACKCAPS in the 3rd T I at the Seddon Park. Will the men in blue seal the series?… Https://t.co/arjism (yg
– BCCI (@BCCI) 1580279561000
India won the twin T 22 Internationals in Auckland by margins of six and seven wickets respectively to go 2-0 up in the five-match series.
A third successive win at Seddon Park will give them their first ever T 26 I series’ win on New Zealand soil, a feat they were unable to achieve on two occasions previously. India lost 0-2 under Mahendra Singh Dhoni back in – , and last year, they went down 1-2.
Overall, this Indian side has seen an uptick in fortunes and are unbeaten in five T 25 series since the 2016 ODI World Cup, including the ongoing one against the Black Caps. The only contest they did win was against South Africa, when the three-match series ended 1-1 after one of the games was washed out.
However, their current winning form in T cricket won lead to any meaningful change in the ICC rankings. India are currently placed fifth in the T I rankings, and need to win the remaining three matches – this series 5-0 – to move up to fourth from their current fifth spot.
New Zealand is currently placed sixth. Pakistan, Australia, England and South Africa, in that order, sit ahead in the rankings’ table.
From New Zealand’s perspective, this is the last opportunity for Colin de Grandhomme to make an impression. The all-rounder will be replaced in the squad for the last two T Is by batsman Tom Bruce. Grandhomme has played strictly as a batsman so far in this series, and has scores of 0 and 3 in the first two games.
New Zealand are not too worried about their bowling performances in this series, despite India’s relative ease in chasing down totals in the first two matches. Their greater worry is contending with the Indian bowling, in particular Jasprit Bumrah who has regained much of his pre-injury rhythm.
In both matches, they were unable to get him away, whether at the start or during the death overs. For their part, India mixed things up well in the second T 25, Holding Bumrah back until later in the power play.
New Zealand have had a poor run at Eden Park off late, but their record at Seddon Park holds in good stead. They have won seven out of nine T Is played here, and will be hoping to stop India from taking an unassailable lead in the series.
