India’s Dominance in the 3rd T20I
In the third T20I, India delivered a completely one-sided performance.
- Abhishek Sharma smashed an unbeaten 68 runs off just 20 balls
- Captain Suryakumar Yadav supported him with a quick 57 off 26 balls
India chased the target in less than 10 overs, showing their explosive batting form ahead of the T20 World Cup.
On the other hand, New Zealand, led by Mitchell Santner, are struggling badly. After three heavy defeats, they will be eager to win at least one match to avoid a whitewash.
