India Seek Series Win Over New Zealand in Third T20I at Wellington

India Seek Series Win Over New Zealand in Third T20I at WellingtonPreviousNext

India leads the five-match T20I series against New Zealand 2-0 ahead of the third game at Wellington's Hnry Stadium on October 27. India aims to clinch the series despite missing wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan due to injury, with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi likely to retain his place. Bowling remains a concern for both teams, with India’s Bhuvneshwar Kumar seeking to improve after expensive spells. New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner, will look to avoid a series defeat and keep hopes alive.
