New Zealand vs India, 3rd ODI – Dafanews Match Preview

We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

India wasn’t able to come up with a good bowling performance in the first game of the series and they would want to pull up their socks. The Men in Blue will have to put extra runs on the board as they have an inexperienced bowling line-up.
