India sits on a 2-0 series advantage as the third T20I looms in Wellington.
Suryakumar Yadav, the match‑winning batter in both games, has already taken the spotlight.
In the second match, India chased 181 to win by a razor‑thin four runs—Tilak Varma’s 51* off 26 balls sealed the deal.
Ishan Kishan will miss the match after a wrist injury, forcing the captain to shuffle the batting order.
A win would seal a clean sweep and cement India’s dominance; New Zealand must rally to keep the series alive.
The next test will be on Thursday, 29 October, at the same venue.
