India With the series already in the bag, he will enter the picturesque coastal city of Visakhapatnam. After a brutal 8-wicket demolition of the Black Caps in Guwahati, where they were chased down for 154 in just 10 overs, the Men in Blue hold on to an elusive 3-0 lead.
For India, it’s all about improving their ruthless brand of cricket ahead of the T20 World Cup starting next month. for New Zealandit’s a desperate quest for pride and a solution to the Indian spin attack and an opening duo that looks invincible.
If the series is won, India will rest jasprit bumrah or Hardik Pandya to give Harshit Rana or Varun Chakraborty more playtime? Ishan Kishi‘s aggressive cameo in the last game makes the top line look awfully deep. Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra struggled to discuss the early movement. If they don’t survive the first 6 overs, the Black Caps run the risk of another sub-par that India’s batsmen will eat for breakfast.

ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
On the surface Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium It’s the quintessential T20 deck: flat, hard and built for high-octane batting. While the red clay usually offers consistent bounce that mars love, the coastal humidity in Visakhapatnam often brings the spinners into play during the middle innings, providing enough grip for the likes of Bishnoi and Sodhi. But the determining factor tomorrow will be heavy dew in the evening. As the temperature drops, the pitch will become smoother, making it harder for the bowlers to catch the ball and effectively forcing the captain who wins the toss to field first.
