Seeking a consolation win, India take on New Zealand in the third and final ODI match at picturesque Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui on Tuesday. New Zealand were clinical in both the wins and they will target a clean sweep to assuage the pain of five-nil drubbing they suffered at the hands of India in the T20s.

07:00 hrs IST: Kane Williamson is back for New Zealand today. He will be leading the Black Caps.
06:55 hrs IST: Good morning everyone and welcome to Outlook's live coverage of the 3rd ODI between New Zealand and India. Will the hosts complete a cleansweep or can Virat Kohli's restore pride?
India were comprehensively beaten in the first ODI even after posting 347 in Hamilton with Ross Taylor setting up a record chase for the Kiwis. The veteran wasn't done. He dropped the anchor in Auckland, guiding hosts to another convincing win for an unassailable 2-0 lead. Also, they didn't feel the loss of mercurial skipper Kane Williamson, who needed time to recuperate his injured shoulder. But the skipper all set to make a return.
But India sure missed the services of Rohit Sharma, their Hitman. With experienced Shikhar Dhawan's also missing the action, the visitors have failed to wrest the early initiatives in both the outings. Both Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal are good, but here, they were found wanting.
Virat Kohli, who downplayed the importance of ODIs in a T20 World Cup year, is likely to make more than a couple of changes. The likes of Rishabh Pant and Manish Pandey are likely to make the playing XI. Another worrying aspect is the shape of Shardul Thakur, his figurative figures. The pacer, despite his batting abilities, may face the axe.
Likely XIs:
New Zealand: Martin Guptill, Henry Nicholls, Kane Williamson (c), Ross Taylor, Tom Latham (wk), Jimmy Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme, Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson, Ish Sodhi, Hamish Bennett
India: Mayank Agarwal, Prithvi Shaw, Virat Kohli (c), Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Manish Pandey, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah
