Virat Kohli has a golden opportunity to become the first Indian captain to lead his side to a T20I series win over New Zealand in New Zealand. India will be looking to seal the T20I series when they take on New Zealand in the 3rd T20I at Hamilton.
The Kiwis have been thoroughly outclassed at home in the first two T20Is and the pressure will be on them to deliver the goods. While India’s sharp and smart bowling restricted the Kiwis to 132/5 in the second T20I, it was a spectacular effort from their bowlers to restrict them to a below-par total on a small ground like Eden Park which has been a graveyard for the bowlers.
The Kiwis got off to a good start but their middle order faltered as they couldn’t adapt to the variations and pace changes of the Indian pacers and spinners. The Kiwis will somehow need to crack the Jasprit Bumrah code and put in a solid batting effort in Hamilton.
