3rd ODI: New Zealand won the toss opt to field against India

New Zealand won the toss opt to field against India

Kane Williamson said, “We are going to have a bowl. Certainly more grass than we saw earlier. Don't think it will seam as much but still there should be some help and then dew later on in the game. Whatever we do here, the wickets tend to be generally good surfaces and the team that plays the better cricket wins. It is a great opportunity for us and we want to enjoy it out there. (On any changes) Same team.

Virat Kohli said, “It looks a good wicket. We would have been okay with batting or bowling first but keeping the dew in mind, maybe batting second was better. Irrespective of what we do first, we need to do it well. A few guys wanted to have some rest while some wanted to iron it out in the nets. It's been a hectic season so far but there is nothing more motivating than playing in a decider. New Zealand have always been competitive with us, they aren't loud and don't do annoying things but the intensity never dips on the field. Many teams can learn from them. (On the XI) We are playing the same team.”
