New Delhi: The Men in Blue will look to seal another T20I series as they take on New Zealand in the 3rd T20I at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. After delivering a dominating performance in the first two matches of the series, India aim to carry the same momentum in the next three games before the 2026 T20 World Cup.
In the second T20I in Raipur, the hosts chased down the 209-run target in 15.2 overs. Openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma departed early in the run chase, but captain Suryakumar Yadav (82* off 37) and Ishan Kishan (76 off 32) played extraordinary innings to help India take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
The spotlight in the third match will be on opener Sanju Samson tonight, who is short of runs ahead of the T20 World Cup, with Ishan Kishan putting pressure as a backup wicket-keeper and in-form hitter.
India and New Zealand have played 27 T20I matches against each other. Out of these 27 matches, the Men in Blue have won 16, and the Kiwis have emerged victorious in 10 matches, while 1 match ended in a tie.

The surface at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium is expected to be helpful for batters with good pace, and the bounce allows stroke-makers to play freely. The pace bowlers might get a little bit of assistance from the pitch. As the match progresses, spin bowlers may get moderate help, but batting remains easier throughout.
