Team India will look to seal the three-match T20I series when the Hardik Pandya-led side locks horns with New Zealand in the third and final T20I in Napier on Tuesday.
In the second T20I, Suryakumar stole the show with his superb 111-run knock and it will be interesting to see how the Kiwi bowlers will solve the Surya juggernaut in order to level the series. However, Rishabh Pant's form will be a big concern for the Men In Blue as he looked out of sorts in the second game, scoring only 6 runs off 13 balls as an opener.
New Zealand, on the other hand, will be without their captain Kane Williamson in Napier. Southee will be at the helm of affairs in the absence of the regular captain. Mark Chapman will an ideal replacement for Williamson, who was the highest scorer in the second T20I, in the Kiwi Playing XI.
