The spark that went missing in the first ODI while defending a 350-run total, was high on display in the second ODI from the Indian bowling unit when they bundled the whole team on a paltry score of 108 runs. The Indian batting also looks in decent touch with skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill providing well constructed start at the top, consistently. Virat Kohli had a phenomenal start to the year against Sri Lanka, however, the veteran batter has been unimpressive against New Zealand so far. The consistency with which Mohammed Siraj is providing the Indian side with a genuine pace support in absence of Jasprit Bumrah has been applausable along with Mohammed Shami who scalped three wickets in the second ODI.

As far as New Zealand is concerned, in absence of Kane Williamson and Tim Southee, the black caps looked unschooled in terms of tackling pressure in both the ODIs of the series against India. The back-to-back defeats at the hands of India in the ongoing series also cost New Zealand their top spot in the ICC Men's ODI Team Ranking. The plan of action from the black caps in the final ODI will be to take revenge and get back to winning ways. Meanwhile, for team India, a win in the third ODI will mean the Men-in-blue bag a consecutive series whitewash in a month.
