Team India just one match away from becoming number-1, New Zealand has the last chance to avoid trouble

Indore: The last match of the three ODI series between India and New Zealand will be played in Indore. Host India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. If Team India wins in the third ODI, then it will once again become the No. 1 ODI team in the world. Although the top-ranked Indian team in T20, however, after the way they have won both the opening matches of the series, their claim looks strong. By the way, if we see, till now only Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma have been able to do special in batting. Although other batsmen have not got enough chances. Today, if Ishaan Kishan, Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav get a chance, they will have to take advantage of it.

There can be a change in bowling

There is little chance of a change in the Indian batting order in the third ODI against New Zealand. Although bowling can see some changes in the bowling department. Fast bowler Umran Malik and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal can be kept in the team. Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami and Hardik have done well so far while the spinners have also played their part well.

On the other hand, New Zealand will try their best to prevent India from making a clean sweep by winning this match. The team has failed on every front in the series. Their top six batsmen have scored 40 or more runs on only seven occasions in the last 30 innings. In their batting line-up, only Michael Bracewell has been able to make an impact so far.
