NZ vs IND 3rd ODI, Approaching Milestones and Records: Unlike the high-scoring T20I series, where the average score was 200+, the ODI series has had a contrasting start. The first two ODIs saw the scores of 185, 143, 134 and 113. Though the Indian cricket team have been lucky, as the toss has flipped in their favour both times. Batting in these conditions have been very tough.
There are only two individual half-centuries in two matches. The extra bounce and seam have made the batters struggle. The third ODI between the two sides has a scheduled start of 7:30 AM IST on Tuesday, taking place at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
The forecast indicates a heavy shower during the game. It means we might see another delayed start or rain breaks or even a washout. But if not, there is a exciting match scheduled between these two sides. Notably, New Zealand have not lost a bilateral ODI series at home since 2019, and that streak is on the line.
Here, we will talk about big records and milestones which are lined up and can be achieved in the NZ vs IND 3rd ODI at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
