The third and final ODI of the series, which will also finish the tour, will take place at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on November 30, Wednesday. New Zealand lead the series 1-0 after winning the first ODI, however, the second game in Hamilton was rained out. With only one game remaining, the Men in Blue would like to tie the series. They have lost the last 4 completed ODIS in New Zealand. India will play an ODI match at the Hagley Oval for the first time. In contrast, hosts New Zealand have played 11 ODIs at this stadium, winning 10 and losing one.
The first game was won by New Zealand by seven wickets, thanks to an unbeaten 221-run stand for the fourth wicket between Tom Latham and skipper Kane Williamson, as the Indian bowlers could not get through them. Shikhar Dhawan and the company will need to perform admirably in order to return home with their heads held high. The hosts showed why they are the world’s number 1 side in the format during the first encounter, and the Men in Blue will need to pull up their socks for this game. Following a 1-0 win in the T20I series, levelling the ODI series will be a morale booster for the Indian team, which is without several senior players.
