India v New Zealand 3rd ODI Score and Highlights

The India-New Zealand ODI series will move to Baroda for the third ODI but it requires some kind of an injection to get some excitement in the game. India leads 2-0 and unless the Kiwis can look to the likes of Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum to perform really well, the series could soon be gone.

India had rested three of their main batsmen for the series and yet have batted like a champion team, a combination of probably their strong enough bench strength and poor New Zealand bowling. The Kiwis have depended too heavily on their skipper Vettori, and with no support from the pace bowling, the side has struggled.

What has added to their woes is that Brendon McCullum is not fit in the series and even if he plays in the third ODI, it will need him to get moving quickly, without having too much time to get attuned to the track.

Saurabh Tiwary could get his chance in the third ODI, in place of the rested Suresh Raina, while the Indian bowling will see the return of Zaheer Khan and Praveen Kumar. That should make it more potent for the Indians.

India will be favourites to win the third ODI against New Zealand.
