IND vs NZ 3rd ODI: India can seal series in Hamilton; Gill, Kohli and Rohit in focus

India and New Zealand meet in the third ODI of the five-match series at Seddon Park, Hamilton on Tuesday, November 10 at 7:30 AM IST, with India leading 2-0 and aiming to clinch the series. New Zealand must win the match to remain in contention.

India arrived in Hamilton having won the first two matches in Auckland and Wellington. Virat Kohli's 74 in Auckland anchored India's first victory, while KL Rahul's unbeaten 26 proved crucial in the rain-affected Wellington game. In the second match India were reduced to 113/7 before rain brought proceedings to an early end, leaving the series advantage with the visitors.

New Zealand begin the third ODI with several injury issues: Lockie Ferguson has been ruled out of the final two ODIs with a right-calf tear and Blair Tickner will miss the next two games after suffering a blow to his helmet in Wellington. Kristian Clarke has been added to New Zealand's squad as cover. With those absences, the hosts will rely on the remaining bowlers to fill the gap created by the injured pacemen.

Daryl Mitchell, who scored 55 in the second ODI, remains a key figure for New Zealand's batting. Glenn Phillips is also listed among the players the hosts will look to for runs as they attempt to reverse their form on home soil. The combination of Mitchell and Phillips is expected to be central to New Zealand's chase of runs in Hamilton.

India's bowling attack has been described in series reports as a decisive factor so far. Gurnoor Brar produced a career-best 4-30 in the second encounter, and Anshul Kamboj and Axar Patel have also played important roles in restricting the opposition. New Zealand were restricted to 185 in Auckland before managing just 134 in Wellington.

Fans can follow the third ODI via the Sony Sports Network on television, while online streaming will be available on the Sony LIV app and website. Live ball-by-ball commentary, playing XI announcements and full scorecards are being offered through the match coverage services for updates from Hamilton.

A victory for India at Seddon Park would secure the five-match series with two games to spare; New Zealand need a win on Tuesday to keep the series alive.
