Can New Zealand bounce back in this third ODI?
Open poll and resultsNew Zealand vs India prediction
The second ODI went India’s way this past weekend, leaving New Zealand down by two games and the pressure is now firmly on the Black Caps with three more ODIs to play. However, when taking into account the forecast for the scheduled hours of play and the likelihood of rain affecting the third ODI, focusing on a specific player appears the smart move as opposed to backing the result itself.
Virat Kohli top-scored for India in the first ODI, striking 74 off 51 balls, and his presence in this series has clearly provided a spark for Shubman Gill’s side. He’s locked in, and there aren’t many better players across the history of ODI cricket when in form. After scoring only seven in the second match, it would be no surprise to see him bounce back with a big score this time around, regardless of the final outcome.
