The third and final T20I between India and New Zealand is all set to take place on Sunday, November 21 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. India has an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match T20 series.
Skipper Rohit Sharma has led the Indian team from the front and has been well supported by KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav. In the bowling department, Ravichandran Ashwin and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar have economical, helping the side to restrict the Kiwis for as little as possible.
On the other hand, New Zealand will be disappointed with their performance. Expect Martin Guptill and Mark Chapman, the rest of the batting has not clicked in the series. With the series already won by India, the Kiwis will be desperate to avoid a whitewash in the final T20I.
A 🇳🇿 whitewash by 🇮🇳 on the cards?
Or will the #Kiwis script a comeback?
