Hardik Pandya’s Team India will look to seal off the three-match T20I with a win at McLean Park in Napier on Tuesday (November 22). India are leading the series 1-0 after their comprehensive 65-run win over the Kiwis in the second T20I in Mount Maunganui. The Black Caps will be missing their regular skipper Kane Williamson in the final game and will be led by pace bowler Tim Southee in his absence.
After a big win on Sunday, it will be interesting to see if skipper Hardik Pandya will choose to experiment by bringing in the likes of Umran Malik and Sanju Samson for the third and final T20 against New Zealand on Tuesday or play safe and secure a series win after the disappointment of losing the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal earlier this month.
India were expected to try out a bunch of players after another World Cup debacle but if the team combination for the second T20 was any indication, they seemed reluctant to start with a clean slate. Take out the individual brilliance of Suryakumar Yadav, the team would have struggled to post 160 on Sunday, a grim reminder of its travails in the World Cup Down Under.
India’s powerplay approach has been a major concern. Rishabh Pant was tried at the top with Ishan Kishan in the second game but the move did not work. Considering Pant’s class, one can expect him to fire in the series-decider. Samson is another batter who can make instant impact but the team did not start with him.

Going by skipper Hardik Pandya’s post match comments, the management is unlikely to make too many changes for the third T20. India lead the series 1-0 with the series opener washed out.
