New Zealand Tour of India

IND vs NZ, 3rd T20I, Kolkata

Preview

After winning both the T20I's, India is eyeing for a whitewash and they are very likely to do that. New Zealand who defeated India in the finals of the World Test Series and knocked them out from the T20 World Series had nothing really going in their favour and without the likes of Kane Williamson; it was always getting difficult for the men in black and white. What separates them from others is that they never give up and in Kolkata, we might see something like that.

Toss, of course will once again be key in Kolkata. It's winter or rather almost winter in India and thus, the dew plays a very big role in deciding the fate of the game. India however should think much even if they lose the toss and bats first. The new captain of the team, Rohit Sharma needs to instill the fearlessness factor into the team and should give freedom to all the players. The only thing that will be interesting to see is whether the likes of Chahal, Rituraj and others get a chance in the first team or not! The leg spinner should totally get a chance and replace either of the spinners. Leg spinners often play a big part in T20I cricket and thus, he should be getting more game time than others. Axar Patel, who is a substitute of Ravindra Jadeja in the team, will definitely get dropped when Jadeja is back into the squad. Thus, team India should think about the future and bring Chahal into the mix.

New Zealand has no new formula that they can try. The team is tired from playing so many games in recent times and the prime bowlers need some rest before the test series. Thus, it won’t be surprising to see Boult or Southee giving them a day off. Martin Guptill and Daryl Mitchell will be key for Kiwis. If these two get the perfect start, things may work smoothly for the BlackCaps.

Pitch Report

The pacers always get help from the pitch and it comes really good to the bat. Expect a cracking game of cricket but the team batting second will get a lot of help because of the dew.
