New Zealand must win the third T20I against India in Hamilton to keep their hopes alive in the five-match series, which they trail 2-0.

Overview

New Zealand vs India, 3rd T20I
Seddon Park, Hamilton
Wednesday, 29 January; 08:00pm local, 07.00am GMT

New Zealand have never lost a T20I series to India at home, but injuries to multiple regular players and an out-of-form side have made it difficult for them to restrain the visitors this time. While pacers Trent Boult and Lockie Ferguson are unavailable for the series due to injuries, usually dependable all-rounders Colin de Grandhomme and Mitchell Santner have been out of form.

New Zealand might consider bringing in Daryl Mitchell or Scott Kuggeleijn in place of Blair Tickner, who has picked up just one wicket in the series so far, conceding 68 runs in six overs. India, on the other hand, may prefer not to tinker with the winning combination and field the same XI in Hamilton.

Remember the last time

KL Rahul's third consecutive fifty in T20I powered India to a seven-wicket victory in Auckland, where the visitors chased down a 133-run target within 18 overs. The right-hander joined forces with the impressive Shreyas Iyer after the quick dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, lifting the visitors from 39/2 to 125/3.

The visitors' bowling attack dished out an excellent performance, restricting New Zealand to 132/5 and conceding just 12 boundaries in 20 overs. Ravindra Jadeja was the pick of the bowlers, returning figures of 2/18 in his four-over spell. Martin Guptill impressed for the hosts at the beginning of the game, registering a 20-ball 33 at the top of the order. Tim Seifert also looked dangerous in the middle overs, scoring unbeaten 33 runs to take the hosts to a modest total.

What they said

Virat Kohli, India captain: "I know New Zealand are going to bounce back hard. We need to bring our A game again and we are up for the challenge. I think the dimensions of Hamilton are better than Auckland, it's an even field for the bowlers."

Kane Williamson, New Zealand captain: "We need to keep moving forward as a group as we're up against a tough side like India. That's a great thing, we get to test ourselves against the best."

Conditions

While both T20Is in the series have been won by the chasing side, the conditions at Seddon Park might present a dilemma before the captains: Teams batting first have won three out of the last four T20Is at this venue. It is not an easy track to bat on, with the 200-mark being breached just four times in 18 innings. Cloudy conditions are forecasted in Hamilton in the evening, but there's no threat of rain.

I hope we get beaten here, and hopefully thakur gets smashed and that's the end of that experiment just like ahmed and siraj experiments were.

He has been getting smashed to a pulp in every game he has played. That hasn't stopped Kohli to play him in each game we've played of late.
 
Rohit starts way too slowly especially in T20s.

Thank god, Dhawan isn't here.

Siraj should be there in test cricket as a reserve,Khalil is young maybe he will improve.
 
Rahul has changed beyond recognition in last few months.

Hope he shows similar form (if selected) in test cricket as well.
 
Hamish Bennett is one of the worst bowlers I've seen playing for NZ.

Bowling so many garbage balls.

Have CdG finish off his overs.
 
Lmao

CdG being held back, first over he bowls after the rest are getting whacked around he bowls a tight over and gets a wicket.
 
It's really shocking the drop off between the best XI and the rest. We have no depth. Players outside the best XI are not good enough.
 
Dube looks a lot like Yuvraj especially when he is wearing the helmet.

The 6 with which he finished last game was so reminiscent of Yuvraj. Just that he doesn't have similar power as Yuvraj had nor has enough strokes.
 
Now everyone will have respectability to their bowling analysis.
 
We're playing so many passengers in our LoI teams that its not even funny anymore....
 
This Dube is a Chinese knockoff version of Pandya. Shouldn't go to Australia.
 
Wisdom states that we should remove all these excuse of cricketers before boarding flight to Australia. But you never know with Kohli's wisdom.
 
This is a bilateral series he can experiment.. you seem to have a problem with everything Kohli does

Seems like you don't know about Kohli's captaincy in Loi,Keeping Thakur in the squad instead of Saini that makes sense this is just an example I gave.
 
Aman should have no excuses for not winning today. We are still playing shardul and chasing should be easier because pitch will be better. :inti
 
Slept through. I suppose poor total? HOw was the pitch? slow? Only reason i watch these T20s is for India's batting.
 
I could have continued sleepd rather than seeing this pie chucker Thakur opening with new ball.
 
IND 179/5 (20.0)
NZ 11/0 (1.3) CRR: 7.33 REQ: 9.14
New Zealand need 169 runs
