It is all to play for Team India when they take on New Zealand in the 3rd and last ODI of the ongoing series in an aim to level the series which stands 1-0 in favor of the hosts.
New Zealand won the first ODI in Auckland by 7 wickets, chasing down 307 with 17 balls left on the back of Tom Latham’s 145* (104) and captain Kane Williamson’s 94*(98) and their mammoth, unbreachable partnership.
The second ODI in Hamilton was reduced to 29 overs per side due to rain and then was eventually washed out with only 12.5 overs of play – India’s batting – possible.
The 3rd ODI will be played at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Wednesday. India, who won the T20I series 1-0, will want to level the series and go back home on a positive note, while New Zealand will hope to win the series as they prepare for the 2023 ODI WC.

India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI Predicted playing XIs:
James Neesham missed the first two ODIs due to a niggle. If he is fit, he is likely to replace Daryl Mitchell. New Zealand had also dropped Adam Milne for Michael Bracewell. Expect a mostly unchanged XI from the hosts.
New Zealand predicted XI:
Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson (c), Daryl Mitchell/Neesham, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson
India dropped Sanju Samson and Shardul Thakur from the first ODI to include Deepak Hooda, a batting all-rounder to give support to the 5 bowlers, and Deepak Chahar. With both Hooda and Chahar not getting any chance to make an impact in the washed-out 2nd ODI, expect India to stick to their XI from the 2nd ODI.
India predicted XI:
Shikhar Dhawan (c), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal
IND vs NZ match prediction: We are predicting New Zealand to win the 3rd ODI and seal the series.
India’s bowling attack seems lacking in experience and quality compared to New Zealand’s, whose bowlers have been smart in using the field dimension and have bowled to their plans. India, on the other hand, panicked when things started to go against them in the first OD.
