IND vs NZ: What Mitchell Santner said during the toss

We were going to bowl first, the surface looks good either way. Lucknow was a challenging surface, maybe 120 would have done the trick. But we have to adapt. It was a great experience playing here, it’s my first time here. It doesn’t get bigger than this with a series on the line. Till now both the surfaces were very different but today we need boys to adapt to bigger boundaries. It should be a good challenge. A change for us – Ben Lister in for Jacob Duffy.

IND vs NZ: Hardik Pandya said this after the toss

We are going to bat first. Looking to put on some runs and take the game from there. Looks a very good wicket, we played the IPL final here where the ball moved a bit too much in the second innings. There has been a lot of pressure on the batsmen in the last two matches but credit goes to the kind of attitude they have shown. This is what we try as a unit, we are going to be tested but we will learn from it. Such knockout matches teach you a lot. One change – Umran comes in for Yuzi as the surface will help the fast bowlers

IND vs NZ: Umran instead of Chahal

Pacer Umran Malik has been recalled to the playing XI as he replaced spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for the third and final T20I. Team India elected to bat first after winning the toss.

IND vs NZ: India chose to bat
