India Vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd T20I: Sooryavanshi Eyes Another Opportunity, Bhuvneshwar's Place Under Scanner

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was included in the playing XI in the 2nd T20I as he replaced injured Ishan Kishan, however, the 15-year-old failed to capitalise the opportunity, scoring just 2 runs. The left-handed batter might get another chance today as Kishan hasn't recovered and is out again.

Rain is unlikely to interrupt play, with clear skies forecast in Christchurch. Temperatures are expected to reach 24°C during the day before dropping to around 10°C by evening.

With no rainfall predicted and humidity rising to 77% in the evening, dew could play a crucial role. The conditions may favour chasing, making bowling first a tempting option for the captain winning the toss.
