New Delhi: The three-match T20I series between India and New Zealand has been a hard-fought one. After India emerged victorious in the first match, New Zealand walked away with honours in the second game. And with that, the series was levelled and thus we have a decider. The third T20I takes place at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, which become India’s 50th venue. Meanwhile, heavy rain has been predicted during the game and the series could end with a washout. We hope rain stays away and we have a full game. Stay tuned for the live score updates from the match.
In a must-win match in Rajkot, Kiwis dished out a fabulous performance to stay alive in the series. A 40-run win helped the visitors draw level in the series after India won the opening match by 53 runs in Delhi.
A fitting finale for the series is on cards, however, rain could well take away all the excitement. It has been raining in Thiruvananthapuram and thunderstorms are predicted during the match time. The ground has been already under water but thanks to the drainage system present at the venue, it can dry up quickly. As we near the start of the match hope that the weather stays dry.
