Indian Cricket Team would be keen to whitewash New Zealand in the 3rd ODI at Indore on 24th January(Tuesday). The Men in Blue registered a resounding victory in the 2nd ODI where they were quite ruthless in all the 3 departments of the game.
New Zealand would be eyeing a quick turnaround after a disastrous performance at Raipur. The Black Caps need someone who could surprise the opponent in the power-play overs by playing an attacking brand of cricket as Indian bowlers are bowling quite a wicket to wicket which frustrates the batters.

Great Contest on Cards
The 3rd ODI may be a dead rubber but a win for India would take them to the No.1 spot in the ICC ODI Rankings. The Men in Blue though would like to see the middle order batters like Suryakumar Yadav & Ishan Kishan get some runs under their belt where in the 1st ODI they couldn’t convert their starts.

Even though New Zealand is missing their key players, they have the knack of making a stellar comeback. The Black Caps should use Glenn Philips up the order as the right-handed batter can play a breezy knock and take the game away from the opposition team.
