India and New Zealand are set for a high-stakes finish as they face off in the third and final ODI on Sunday, January 18, at Indore’s Holkar Cricket Stadium. With the three-match series locked at 1-1, this game is a straight shootout for the trophy.
For New Zealand, the stakes are even higher. A win would give them their first-ever ODI series victory on Indian soil, adding to the momentum they’ve built in recent years. India, meanwhile, will be keen to bounce back after a rare slip-up in the second ODI and close the series at home.
Series Situation and Team Form
India may have lost the second match, but the batting unit looks largely in control. Captain Shubman Gill has looked assured at the top, with Shreyas Iyer rediscovering his rhythm in the middle order. Virat Kohli continues to bat with authority, while KL Rahul has chipped in with valuable runs late in the innings.

The one area India will want to improve is spin bowling. While the pacers have held their own, the spinners haven’t made the expected impact so far. On an Indore pitch that often offers grip as the match progresses, that could be the deciding factor.
New Zealand, on the other hand, will take confidence from their balanced showing in the second ODI. Their batting has been steady, and the bowling unit has found ways to put India under pressure at key moments.
