With the series tied at 1-1, the host will be looking end the series on a positive run and continue their winning form. However, it’s easy said than done as the visitors have been performing equally well despite losing the second ODI in Pune and won’t go down without a fight.

Kohli may not want to tinker with a winning combination, therefore, it remains to be seen whether Yadav gets a chance to play in front of his home crowd tomorrow whereas New Zealand has played the same XI so far, and would not tinker with it at Kanpur as well.

Kanpur will be hosting its first day-night ODI at Green Park in Kanpur which has previously hosted 14 ODIs. India has won seven out of their last nine matches at this venue and New Zealand will be looking to clinch a rare series win in India.
