TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Preview
New Zealand continued their disappointing run in the second match of the series at home. After being restricted to 180 runs while batting first, they struggled to contain India, who chased down the target comfortably in the final overs to secure a convincing four-wicket victory.
While batting first, their top order didn't provide a good starter as they lost their wickets earlier. However, Glenn Phillips batted well and played a composed knock of 70 runs from 43 balls, while Bevon Jacobs added 58 off 46. But the rest of the batting unit didn't support much, resulting in New Zealand ending their innings at an average total.
In the bowling department, New Zealand performed well early on, managing to keep Team India under pressure. Mitchell Santner was the standout performer as he took four wickets for 21. Jacob Duffy and Nathan Smith took one wicket each. However, despite this, they failed to defend the total.
Despite consecutive defeats, New Zealand will hope for a batting performance from Glenn Phillips, who scored 157 runs in the last three games with a strike rate of 178. Bevon Jacobs is also in good form, scoring 201 runs in the last eight games. Additionally, Mitchell Santner can do well with the ball, as he took 11 wickets in the last six games.

India Preview
India delivered another commanding display in the second T20I, securing a thrilling four-wicket victory to get a 2-0 lead in the series. After restricting New Zealand to 180, India chased down the target in the last over overs.
While chasing 181, India’s top order provided a decent start. Abhishek Sharma smashed 27 off 21 balls, while Tilak Varma starred with a blistering 51 from just 26 deliveries at a strike rate over 196. Naman Dhir and Nitish Reddy also made quick-fire knocks of 31 and 26 runs, respectively, helping India complete the chase comfortably.
India’s bowling attack was equally impressive in the last game. They succeeded in putting pressure on New Zealand’s batting line-up by taking wickets right from the start. Arshdeep Singh led the way with outstanding figures of 2/33, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Nitish Reddy and Prince Yadav claimed one wicket each.
Overall, recently India’s batting unit is in exceptional form, with Shreyas Iyer scoring 280 runs in his last 10 T20Is at a strike rate of 159, while Abhishek Sharma has scored 269 runs at a strike rate of 185 in the last ten games. With the ball, Arshdeep Singh remains a key threat, having taken 8 wickets in his last six T20Is.

NZ vs IND Pitch Report
The pitch at Hnry Stadium, Wellington is expected to be a good batting surface. It offers good pace and bounce early on, making it favourable for stroke-playing during the first innings. Fast bowlers generally get a bit of assistance and carry with the new ball under lights, while spinners usually have to rely on the large straight boundaries to protect themselves rather than finding much turn. With a quick outfield, a high-scoring game can be expected. The average first-innings score at this venue stands at around 174, indicating the potential batting surface.
Toss: To Bowl
Historically, teams often look to chase under lights at Wellington, though scores can be tricky to judge if the pitch slows down. The captain winning the toss is expected to choose to bowl first.
NZ vs IND
Winning Prediction
India will enter the third match of this T20 series as clear favourites. Having already established a strong 2-0 lead in this series, they dominated both matches with an explosive batting lineup and a disciplined bowling attack. On the other hand, New Zealand has struggled to challenge the guests in either game. Despite excellent batting, the Kiwis faced defeat in both matches due to inconsistency in their bowling, an area that requires immediate improvement. If India maintain the same intensity, they have a good chance of taking a 3-0 series lead.
