IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Updates For 3rd T20I

Preview:

India will take on New Zealand in the third and final T20I of the series on Sunday. As expected, with some dominating all-round performances, the men in blue sealed the series 2-0 with a 7-wicket victory in the 2^nd T20I. The openers were remarkable in that match, while Harshal Patel had a dream debut by picking up 2 wickets. Since they have already won the series, India might want to test their bench strength. The likes of Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal and Ishan Kishan might get a chance in the final T20I.

New Zealand, on the other hand, definitely missed the services of experienced Kane Williamson in this series. They bowled pretty well in the first T20I but weren’t up to the mark in the second T20I, as Lokesh Rahul and Rohit Sharma went all out after their bowlers. With the series already dust and dusted, they will now look to avoid the whitewash.
