New Zealand will be aiming to bounce back and clinch the three-match T20I series when they take on India on February 1. The Kiwis suffered a defeat in the second T20I in Lucknow. New Zealand batters were found wanting against the Indian spinners in that game. The likes of Finn Allen, Daryl Mitchell, Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips will have to step up with the bat if New Zealand are to clinch a rare series victory on Indian soil. On the other hand, Team India will be eager to win the series on Wednesday.

India: Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shivam Mavi
