Team India will look to make a clean sweep and end the series with a win against New Zealand when both the teams face off in the final match in Kolkata on Sunday. The hosts won the first two matches by a comfortable margin and will be eyeing a similar performance at the Eden Gardens on November 22.
This is India’s third series win against New Zealand in T20 Internationals and second in a row after their 5-0 win earlier this year. It is also Rohit Sharma’s first series win after becoming India’s permanent captain in the shortest format.
The script has been impeccable so far and New Zealand’s 3-0 destruction at the ‘City of Joy’, where they once scored 264 runs in an ODI, will be like icing on the cake, before Rohit goes into the break.
For New Zealand, it is more about completing assignments after a penal schedule that will see them play five games (since the T20 World Cup semi-finals) in less than two weeks. Inhuman scheduling means that a 0-3 defeat without the services of captain Kane Williamson will hurt the ego but will not let him down as bilateral matches have little to do with results in the long run.
