Holding a commanding 2-0 lead in the five-match series, India will look to seal the deal when they take on New Zealand at the Hnry Stadium, also known as Sky Stadium in Wellington on Tuesday.
Following defeats in the opening two encounters, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner faces an uphill task to rally his side and prevent the Men in Blue from running away with the series.
The tour began with a sensational run-fest, where India successfully chased down a daunting target to win by four wickets after New Zealand posted 225/4. The second fixture was equally dramatic, turning into a last-over thriller where Tilak Varma's explosive, unbeaten 51 off 26 deliveries guided India home with just a ball to spare.
While India's batting has clicked, their bowling has raised eyebrows under captain Shreyas Iyer, with every bowler conceding over 40 runs in the series opener.
For New Zealand, Glenn Phillips has led the batting charge, but consistency with the ball remains elusive outside of standout performances like Santner's in Christchurch. India will miss the services of Ishan Kishan, as injury keeps him away from the 3rd T20I, while Vaibhav Sooryavanshi may retain his place in the playing XI.
Backed by a 2-0 cushion, the visitors enter the third T20I as favorites, but a wounded New Zealand side will be desperate to keep the series alive.
