India Team News & Playing 11
Team News
India brought in Axar Patel in place of Kuldeep Yadav for the second ODI - a move that worked for them. The team is expected to go unchanged for the final game which means Yadav may again have to watch the proceedings from the sidelines.
Key Players
India rode on Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik's twin fifties to cruise to a six-wicket win at Pune. The latter has been impressive in both the games and he once again will be an important figure for his side at no. 4. Rohit Sharma is due for a big one. He has a century at this ground and the team will expect him to click here. Bhuvneshwar Kumar earned the 'Man of the Match' for his three wickets in the last match and he will be the key for India with the new ball.
Recent Form
After a below-par effort from the bowlers in the first match, India came up with a spirited and disciplined bowling performance in the second match to square the series. The hosts now have 11 wins in their last 13 one-day internationals.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Despite being outclassed in the last game, New Zealand might not risk tweaking their current lineup for this upcoming crucial
fixture. There were no injuries in the team at the time of writing.
Key Players
With Kane Williamson struggling at the moment, much of New Zealand's batting is going to rely mainly on Martin
Guptill, Colin Munro and Tom Latham. Latham has so far looked the most comfortable against the Indian spinners and it will be
crucial for the team that he gets a big score in this match. While Trent Boult will be the biggest threat for the hosts with the new
ball, Mitchell Santner who has kept the batsmen quiet in both the games will have a key role to play in the middle overs.
Recent Form
New Zealand showed promising signs after having started the series off so well before their slump in the second ODI. Lack
of application from their batsmen was what cost them the match at Pune. The Kiwis will be going into this game with four
defeats in their last five matches.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11

Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Kane Williamson (c), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham (wk), Henry Nicholls, Colin de
Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Tim Southee, Trent Boult

India vs New Zealand Head to Head
India and New Zealand have never faced each other in a one-day international at the Green Park. However in their
previous eight ODI meetings, both teams have won four times each.
India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI Betting Odds
India begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win the third one-day international and secure the series at an extremely short
1.33 price on Bet365 and 1.36 price on 1xbet. After having a rough day on the field at Mumbai, the hosts showed a lot
of character under pressure to come from behind and level the series. New Zealand start off as the underdogs for this deciding
encounter at odds of 3.75 on Betfair and 3.40 on Bet365.
India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI Prediction
New Zealand will be playing their very first ODI at this ground which means India have an obvious advantage of being a lot
more knowledgeable about the conditions. The hosts also have a strong record here in this format with 9 wins from 13 matches
- a win percentage of close to 70. The Kiwis will need to rectify the mistakes they made with the bat last time out and their key
players will have to perform well together if they are to have any chance of a historic bilateral ODI series win in India. We
however expect the hosts to play to their potential and thus predict them to win this match and hence the series.
Final Verdict: Back India to beat New Zealand in the third ODI at 1.36 with 1xbet and 1.33 with Bet365.
