By winning the last match, the Indian team will take the field today with the intention of giving a clean sweep to New Zealand. However, the big question is whether there will be big changes in Team India today? Actually, after Ajay leads the series, Team India would like to check their bench strength. In such a situation, Captain Rohit Sharma and the team management can make many major changes in Team India in today’s match. The match will start at 1:30 pm. In the first match, Team India defeated New Zealand by 12 runs while the second match was won by 8 wickets.
Talking about the playing XI in today’s match, not much change is expected. But it is believed that instead of Mohammed Shami, Umran Malik can be given a chance in the playing XI. Apart from this, not much change will be seen. Captain Rohit Sharma will go out to open with Shubman Gill. Apart from this, Virat Kohli will bat at number three. Ishaan Kishan will come at number four. Suryakumar Yadav will be on fifth, Hardik Pandya on Chhath. Spin bowling will be in the hands of Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav. At the same time, Shardul Thakur, Umran Malik and Mohammad Siraj will take charge of fast bowling. There is also news that Shahbaz Ahmed may also be given a chance.
Having won the first two matches and taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series, the Indian team will now face New Zealand at the Holkar Stadium where they have won all the ODIs they have played so far. Although New Zealand will be facing hosts India for the first time in the limited overs One Day International format at the Holkar Stadium, the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) stadium’s 17-year-old record has been in India’s favor. Hosts India have been victorious in all the five One Day Internationals held at this ground between 2006 and 2017, defeating England, West Indies, South Africa and Australia in this format. On the other hand, New Zealand has played only one match at Holkar Stadium as a Test match so far.
