New Zealand have never whitewashed India in a series of 3 or more matches – or in any series since 1980-81.
New Zealand turned things around remarkably with wins in the first 2 ODIs of the series against India, at Seddon Park and Eden Park. The teams will now meet in the third ODI, at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui.
Eden Park, Auckland, venue of the second ODI, has hosted two rugby World Cup finals, two cricket World Cup semifinals, and a World Cup football World Cup qualifier.
India have won eight consecutive series across formats; they have also remained unbeaten for 12 on a row.
New Zealand have not won an ODI series in seven years: can they put an end to India's streak?
Bangladesh reached the final of Under-19 World Cup. Jofra Archer was ruled out of IPL 2020 due to injury. The Bushfire relief match was shifted to Melbourne.
New Zealand won the first ODI against India. Avishek Dalmiya took charge as the youngest CAB president. Tom Banton re-appointed by Brisbane Heat for two more years.
It’ll be an interesting battle between the New Zealand batsmen and the Bangladesh spinners, but the Kiwis can’t be discounted.
Seddon Park, Hamilton, host to the first ODI, dates back to well over a century ago, and hosts cricket, rugby, and hockey.
New Zealand’s win-loss ratio of 2.587 is their best at any home ground. On the other hand, India are taking field for the first time without Rohit Sharma.
