Ind vs NZ 3rd ODI LIVE score: New Zealand beat India by 5 wickets, register a clean sweep

The Indian team, currently on a tour to New Zealand, blanked the hosts 5-0 in the T20Is. However, the Black Caps came back strongly in the ODI segment by pocketing the series with still a game to spare. The third of the three-match ODI series will be played at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on February 11. The action is scheduled to commence at 7:30 AM IST.

The dead rubber

Indian opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan was ruled out of the entire New Zealand tour after the left-hander sustained a shoulder injury against Australia in January. Young cricketer Prithvi Shaw was chosen as Shikhar Dhawan’s replacement for the ODI series. Meanwhile, Dhawan’s opening partner and in-form batsman Rohit Sharma was also ruled out of the remainder of the tour after he suffered a calf injury in the final T20I game. Test specialist Mayank Agarwal was called in as a last-minute replacement for the Indian vice-captain. 

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson suffered an injury during the T20Is, prompting him to miss out on the final two matches of the series. Williamson was also ruled out of the playing XI in the first two ODI games. 25-year old Mark Chapman was called up as his replacement. Black Caps wicketkeeper-batsman Tom Latham led the home side during his absence. However, Kane Williamson is expected to be match fit and is likely to feature in the upcoming dead rubber.

"The games were not as bad as the scoreline suggests. Batsmen coming back from tough situations was a positive sign for us, but the way we fielded and bowled, the composure wasn't enough to win games. Didn't deserve to be on the winning side at all this series. Haven't played so badly, but we didn't grab opportunities. It was a good experience for the new guys who came in. They are still finding their feet. They (New Zealand) played with lot more intensity than we did. They deservedly won 3-0. We are excited for the Test series. We now have a balanced team. We feel we can win the series, but we need to step out on the park with the right kind of mindset", said Indian skipper Virat Kohli

"Outstanding performance, India put us under pressure every game of this seriesand today, the first half the wayboys fought with the ball was brilliant. The cricket smarts was outstanding to see and it's something that the boys did that well throughout the series. There are always thingsto learn from sides like India and it's a great start and we are just building on these performances and looking forward to ODIs with Australia later on. Like I said, an outstanding effort against a brilliant side like India. Its recovering (the shoulder) well which is a good thing andI just want to make a special special mention to Hindo, obviously a fan and friend of the team and memberof the Sky cricket team and just want him to know that all (the team) are thinking about him", said New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson
