The third and last match of the series between India and New Zealand will be held at the Hagley Oval ground

The third and final match of the series between India and New Zealand will be played at the Hagley Oval ground in Christchurch. New Zealand is leading 1-0 in the three-match series. Let me tell you, New Zealand won the first match of the series by 7 wickets. At the same time, the second match of the series was washed away due to rain. There is a possibility of rain in the third and final ODI of the series as well.

New Zealand's record at home is excellent. New Zealand have not lost a single white ball series at home since the 2019 World Cup. Let us tell you, New Zealand had lost the series to India 4–1 in 2019, since then they have defeated Bangladesh 2 times, India and Netherlands 1–1 by a margin of 3–0. Let us tell you that India has not won from New Zealand for the last 6 matches. New Zealand has won 5 out of the last 6 matches while 1 match has been inconclusive. The toss doesn't have as much impact on this ground at Hagel Oval as it does in Wellington. In the 15 matches played here, the team batting first has won 8 times, while the team batting later has won 7 times. India has not played a single ODI here yet.

India had given Sanju Samson a place in the playing 11 in the first ODI. But after losing the match, critics targeted the team on the matter of 6th bowling option. In the second ODI, Team India made one change and Deepak Hooda was included in place of Sanju. Although the second ODI could not be completed, it is not known whether Deepak Hooda will bowl in this match or not because many occasions have come before when Hooda was selected as the 6th bowling option of playing 11 but he was not bowled. It will be interesting to see in this match that Sanju gets a chance that only Hooda will be seen playing.
