IND vs NZ T20 Match – Who will win today’s match between India vs New Zealand?

Both the teams will clash in the third T20 match of the series on Wednesday, February 1 at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad. But the Indian team was given a reality check by the Kiwis, who fought valiantly despite defending just 100 runs.

While the Indian bowlers did exceptionally well in the last game, the batting lacked a bit. The hosts could have been in complete disarray had Suryakumar Yadav not provided the successful finishing. India will need to work on their batting ahead of the decider, which has failed them throughout the series.

New Zealand’s bowlers performed brilliantly with the ball in hand during the series opener, where they managed to defend a total of 177 and take the first spot. They also had a knack for taking advantage of India’s bowling due to the sheer brilliance of their middle order.

Even though the Kiwis’ batting looked in complete disarray in the previous match, the bowlers made the famous Indian batting difficult.
