India will play against New Zealand in the 3rd T20I match on January 25 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. After winning the first two matches, India have to win one more game to win the series. New Zealand outplayed them in the ODIs and now, the Men in Blue are seeking revenge for the series loss.
The Kiwis have a good team but the bowlers have failed to give the much-needed breakthrough because of which they have failed to win the matches so far. Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav is back in form and slammed a 23-ball half-century in the previous match. Similarly, skipper Mitchell Santner batted well.
