New Zealand v India 3rd T20i Tips

Player of the Match: Suryakumar Yadav

Over the past few months, Suryakumar Yadav has established himself as the backbone of India’s batting line-up in the shortest format of the game. The middle-order batter has hardly experienced any dull day this year with the bat as he has scored a plethora of runs for the Indian team irrespective of the opposition and the playing conditions. Following his carnage in the T20 World Cup 2022, Suryakumar smacked the New Zealand bowlers over the park at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. When all the other batters failed to perform, the Mumbai Indians Stalwart came up with an eye-pleasing knock of 111 runs off 51 balls. He hammered as many as 11 boundaries and seven sixes to take India to an above-average score of 191 runs. Thus, Suryakumar Yadav is the safest bet for the New Zealand vs India encounter.

Top New Zealand batter: Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson was under fire after a poor performance in the T20 World Cup. However, the batter exhibited his importance in the team once again during the second T20I against India. When no Kiwi player could score more than 25 runs, the captain played an emphatic knock of 61 runs off 52 balls. Though he could not take the team to victory, his brilliant performance gave New Zealand a real chance to fight. We expect Williamson to continue his good performance on Tuesday as well to again become the top-scorer for the Blackcaps.

Top wicket-taker of the match: Yuzvendra Chahal

Odds are on Yuzvendra Chahal’s side to be the top wicket-taker in the third T20 International. The leg spinner flaunted his form in the last match by picking the wickets of Glenn Phillips and James Neesham. He gave only 26 runs in his four overs to record an economy rate of 6.5. Moreover, the condition at McLean Park will suit Chahal’s game. The pitch gets slower as the match goes on, thus providing an extra edge to the spinners.
