Live Cricket Score, India Vs New Zealand 3rd T20 at Thiruvananthapuram: Damp surface with rain delays toss in Ind vs NZ

India Vs New Zealand, Live Cricket Score, 3rd T20 at Green Field Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram: India take on NZ in decider.

For the second time in as many months, India will contest the T20 decider and for a second time, the fate could be decided by external factors. India and Australia’s T20 series finished 1-1 with the third T20 getting called off due to a wet outfield. And rain could play spoilsport in the decider against New Zealand as well. As international cricket returns to Thiruvananthapuram after 29 years, it comes with the series tied after India won in Delhi, by 53 runs, and Kiwis won in Rajkot by 40 runs. Should the contest go ahead, the focus will be on MS Dhoni and where/how he bats. Catch live score and updates from India vs New Zealand in 3rd T20.

India vs New Zealand 3rd T20 Live Score and Updates: Green Field Stadium will play host to the final and decisive third T20 between India and New Zealand.
