At 7 p.m. tonight,
india and
new zealand will play their third
t20 match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
india won the first encounter of the three-match
t20 series in
jaipur by 5 wickets, and the second match in
ranchi by 7 wickets. The
indians took a 2-0 lead in the series. The final match will be played today in Kolkata. Today,
india is anticipated to add Ruturaj and
ishan kishan to the lineup.
Because the
indian team has already won the series, players who did not receive a shot in today's match may be given another chance. Ruturaj Gaekwad, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, and
ishan kishan are all expected to be in the starting lineup. In this category, KL
rahul, Axar Patel,
rishabh pant,
deepak Chahar, or Bhuvneshwar Kumar could retire from today's playing squad and the final XI will be disclosed by
rahul Dravid.
In the first two matches, the
indian side, captained by Rohit Sharma, chased down the target. In today's encounter, the
indian players may be eager to continue their winning streak. Since the
world cup series, the
new zealand team has been playing without enough rest. Although the team's opening batting is strong, they are having difficulty scoring runs in 15 to 20 overs. In that circumstances, the team might pay closer attention and seize the initiative to finish the series with a consolation victory.
