The third T20I of the five-match series between India and New Zealand is underway at Hnry Stadium in Wellington, where the hosts posted 198/3 while batting first. India continue their dominant chase, with Abhishek Sharma (83 not out off 29 balls) and Sanju Samson at the crease after eight overs. New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner brings himself into the attack but concedes only seven runs off the bat, along with a wide, in the over. After the explosive start, India slow down slightly against Santner, who mixes his pace and targets the stumps.
Abhishek is unable to connect with the opening delivery and then collects singles, while Samson rotates the strike with two more singles. A wide outside off adds to the total, but Santner prevents the batters from finding the boundary. New Zealand’s hopes remain slim, with their win probability reported at just 0.48 per cent. India still need 66 runs off 78 balls to win the match and take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. Earlier, New Zealand suffer an early setback after Tim Seifert (2 runs off 6 balls) falls to Arshdeep Singh in the second over, with Axar Patel taking the catch at point.
The hosts manage just six runs in the first two overs before Finn Allen (40 runs off 25 balls) and Daryl Mitchell (89 not out off 52 balls) launch a counterattack, taking New Zealand to 88/1 after eight overs. Allen strikes five sixes before Nitish Kumar Reddy dismisses him, with Naman Dhir completing the catch. Mitchell continues to dominate, bringing up his half-century with a six against Nitish, while Glenn Phillips (17 runs off 14 balls) falls to Axar Patel, who takes a return catch. Bevon Jacobs (39 not out off 23 balls) joins Daryl Mitchell (89 not out off 52 balls) and helps accelerate the scoring in the final overs.

Certain aspects we definitely need to keep improving. The dimensions and conditions are different, so the quicker we adapt the better for us. Lot of players are pretty mature to understand when they are not starting. Same team for us. Mitchell Santner (NZ): Santner: Looks like another good wicket, some pace and bounce. There is no wind which is nice. The dimensions are slightly different to where we have come from.
We know India are a great side, you can’t let your foot off the gas. Three changes. Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson and Nathan Smith are out. Matthew Fisher, Kyle Jamieson and Adam Milne are in.
