IND vs NZ 3rd ODI: New Zealand Eye Historic Series Win on Indian Soil

The New Zealand team is currently touring India. The three-match ODI series is at an intriguing and crucial stage. India got the upper hand in the first match by a close victory, but the second saw a remarkable comeback by the Kiwis. Currently, the series is neck and neck at 1-1. A victory for the Kiwis in the third ODI will be a historic moment for the team in Indian conditions.

The third and final match of the ODI series will be held at the Holkar Stadium in Indore, which has a batsman-friendly pitch. This venue has seen some high-scoring encounters. If New Zealand manages to beat India in this match, it will mark a significant achievement for the Kiwis, as they have not won an ODI series in India in almost 50 years.

New Zealand has never won an ODI series on Indian soil in the last 50 years. If New Zealand wins the third ODI, it will be their first ODI series win in India. Despite numerous visits over the past five decades, the team has failed to achieve this feat. This victory will not only be etched in the record books but will also boost New Zealand cricket's confidence. New Zealand will be playing with a relatively inexperienced team for this tour. Most of the team's players are injured, and several have been rested for the T20 World Cup.

The flat pitch at Holkar Stadium could prove to be a major opportunity for New Zealand's batsmen. This pitch will favor the batsmen, and they appear to be in good form right now. In both previous matches, New Zealand's batsmen kept the Indian bowlers on the back foot and scored at a good pace. India will especially face a challenge from Daryl Mitchell, who has troubled the Indian bowlers in both matches and is currently the top scorer in the series.
