NZ vs Ind 3rd ODI: Toss Stats

Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, Team India have lost the toss on four occasions in their last five completed ODI matches. India have won only two of those five matches, with both their wins coming against Australia in January’s home ODI series. Meanwhile, the ongoing series is New Zealand’s first ODI assignment since the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England. In their last five ODIs overall, New Zealand won the toss thrice and have won the match on three occasions.

At the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, conditions have been ideally fair for both sides irrespective of batting first or second. In the past five ODIs played at the venue, chasing teams have won the game twice. Due to shorter boundaries and a high-scoring deck on the cards, expect the captain to win the toss and field first in the upcoming game.
