High-flying India will have a chance to wrap up the five-match series with two games in hand when they take on New Zealand in the third T20I today in Hamilton. India have looked unstoppable on the tour so far as they made light work of the beleaguered hosts in the first two games.

The Men in Blue won the series-opener by six wickets when they chased down a mammoth total of 204 with ease before winning the second game by seven wickets. In both the games, India never looked in trouble whatsoever as they thoroughly dominated the hosts who are looking out of sorts at the moment.

The two-day break between the second and third matches would have given the visitors the time to completely shake off their jetlags and the players would be looking to make the most of the momentum in the upcoming game. A win today will also give the team-management the opportunity to try other players in the remaining games.
