IND vs NZ HIGHLIGHTS: India Beat New Zealand In Super Over Drama

Background

Hamilton: High on confidence team India will look to take an unassailable lead in the five-match series against New Zealand and clinch their first ever T20I series win on Kiwi soil. The 3rd T20I between New Zealand and India will be played at the Seddon Park in Hamilton.

While the Indians are likely to go unchanged fielding the winning combination from the first two games, the Kiwis could be forced to make some changes as they seem to be lacking seam bowling options in a 'do or die' encounter for them.

#TeamIndia will take on the @BLACKCAPS in the 3rd T20I at the Seddon Park.

Will the men in blue seal the series?
