India and New Zealand will meet in the third and final ODI on Sunday, January 18, at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. With the series tied 1-1, this match will determine the series winner.

India began the series strongly, winning the first ODI, but they could not maintain that level in the second game. Their batting has been steady, but the bowling unit needs changes to improve. The team may make one or two changes to strengthen the bowling attack. India also has a great record in Indore and has never lost an ODI at this venue, which gives them extra confidence.

New Zealand bounced back strongly after losing the opening match. They dominated the second ODI, led by a brilliant hundred from Daryl Mitchell. Captain Michael Bracewell’s side will be confident and will aim to beat India again to win the series on Indian soil.

IND vs NZ: Pitch Report

The Indore pitch is famous for high-scoring matches. Batters like playing here, and big totals often happen. However, the surface slows down later in the game, making it tough to chase scores. Teams may prefer to bat first and set a target.
