India vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd T20: Another chance for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi as India chase series win – The Tech Word News

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd T20: India will look to seal the T20I series against New Zealand when the teams meet in the third match at the Hnry Stadium in Wellington on Tuesday. After a tough run after the T20 World Cup triumph, Shreyas Iyer’s side showed signs of recovery, winning the first two matches and moving within one win of clinching the series.

India’s recent woes began on the Ireland tour where they lost both matches they were chasing before suffering a 4-0 defeat in England. The team also failed to secure a series win at home against the West Indies, with the visitors managing a 2-2 draw. These setbacks exposed inconsistencies in both batting and bowling, prompting management to demand higher standards.

The opening two games in New Zealand offered encouragement. Chasing 225 in the first T20I, India recovered from 70/5 to secure a four-wicket victory in the second. Naman Dhir, Tilak Varma and Nitish Kumar Reddy played vital roles in the comeback as the bowlers restricted New Zealand to 180.

With Ishan Kishan ruled out of the third match, teenager Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is expected to get another chance at No. 3. India will also have to adapt to Wellington’s challenging weather with strong winds and the possibility of rain adding another layer of difficulty.

Bowling coach Morne Morkel stressed the importance of maintaining an aggressive approach and eliminating excuses. New Zealand, meanwhile, will be looking to remain competitive despite the absence of Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson. India have won 18 of their 21 T20Is against New Zealand this decade, including the T20 World Cup final in March, and will be hoping to extend that record on Tuesday.
