With the series levelled 1-1, it is all to play for when India and New Zealand lock horns for the final time in the three-match affair at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 1.

New Zealand did well to take the game to the final over, with India winning the contest with one ball to spare.
