The third and final ODI of the series, which will also conclude the tour, will be played on November 30 at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. After winning the first ODI, New Zealand leads the series 1-0; however, the second game in Hamilton was rained out. The Men in Blue would hope to tie the series with one game remaining. In New Zealand, they have lost the last four completed ODIS. For the first time, India will play an ODI at the Hagley Oval. In contrast, hosts New Zealand has won ten and lost one ODI at this stadium.
The first game was won by New Zealand by seven wickets, owing to an unbeaten 221-run fourth-wicket stand between Tom Latham and skipper Kane Williamson, who kept the Indian bowlers at bay. Shikhar Dhawan and the team must perform well if they are to return home with their heads held high. During the first meeting, the hosts demonstrated why they are the world’s number one team in the format, and the Men in Blue will need to pull up their socks for this game. Following a 1-0 victory in the T20I series, a tie in the ODI series will bolster confidence for the Indian side, which is without key senior players.
