IND vs NZ : 2 changes confirmed in the playing XI, who will lose their place in the final?

The three-match ODI series between India and New Zealand is tied at 1-1, and the third match to be held at Holkar Stadium on Sunday, January 18, will decide the series winner. Both teams have practiced hard, and a competitive match is expected. New Zealand boosted their confidence with a comeback in the second match, while India, having lost the second match, might make changes in the playing eleven.

India started the series with a 4-wicket victory in the first match held in Baroda on January 11. However, in the second match in Rajkot, New Zealand made a comeback with a 7-wicket win and leveled the series. With the top and middle order stable, changes are expected in the lower order.

India's fast bowler Arshdeep Singh might get a chance. Prasidh Krishna has failed in the series, and he might be dropped after dropping a catch in the second match. Also, all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy's failure in batting and bowling might give young Ayush Badoni a debut opportunity. However, it will be interesting to see if a bold decision is made in the decisive match. The final decision will be made by the team management on Sunday, but these changes are expected to strengthen India to win the series.
