New Zealand won the 2nd ODI to level the series at 1-1
The third ODI will be a decider and the team winning the match will clinch the series
New Zealand haven't won a ODI series in India yet
India and New Zealand will lock horns in the final decider of the three match series at Holkar Stadium in Indore on Sunday, January 18, 2026. The series is currently level at 1-1.
India has been unbeaten in bilaterals in the ODI format at home since March 2019. Also, New Zealand haven't been able to win an ODI series in India even once ever since they started touring in this country.
After losing the first ODI by 4 wickets, New Zealand made a spectacular comeback in the 2nd ODI by thrashing India by 7 wickets on the back of a scintillating unbeaten 131-run knock by Daryl Mitchell. This is the best opportunity for the Kiwis to create history by winning their first ODI series in India.
