With the series level at 1-1, New Zealand and England will head into the third ODI at Wellington with a plan to deliver the perfect counter-punch and get the all-desired series win. Both sides have been good and bad in equal measure in the two matches so far and the expectations will be to turn the performances around – or maintain the good show in England’s case – for the win. Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson are injury concerns for New Zealand and given their ability to turn matches around, it is a big worry. The third ODI is an opportunity for Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali to contribute to the cause as well. NZ have won only once in five recent matches at Westpac Stadium.
