Cricket News: India look to finish tour on high

Rohit Sharma's team will be aiming to become the first Indian unit to win a T20 International series in New Zealand when the two sides clash in the third and final match in Hamilton tomorrow. The past three months have been quite memorable for the Indian cricket team as they won their first Test and bilateral One-day International series in Australia followed by the biggest ODI series win in New Zealand. A first T20I series victory in New Zealand will be the icing on the cake for Team India, who have far exceeded expectations during their three-month tour Down Under. India had a nightmare game in the fourth ODI at this venue where they were bowled out for 92 in the wake of some quality swing bowling from Trent Boult. However, Sunday will be a different day and there can't be a bigger motivation than winning yet another series in challenging overseas conditions. India played the same XI in the first two games and in all likelihood, will maintain continuity unless there are some niggles. In case the team management gives change a thought, it could be a like for like replacement with Kuldeep Yadav coming in place of Yuzvendra Chahal as the wrist spinner. However, a look at India's T20 playing XIs will indicate that Chahal has been their preferred shortest format bowler on most occasions.
