Clouds of crisis loomed over the third ODI

The third ODI between India and New Zealand will be played in Christchurch. According to the weather report, it will be cloudy throughout the day in Christchurch on Wednesday and there is a 76 percent chance of rain in the match. The temperature can remain between 16 to 18 degree Celsius. If the third ODI match gets washed out due to rain, then Team India will lose the series 0-1, which the Indian fans would not want at all.

Bowlers will have a litmus test

In the first ODI, the Indian batsmen had scored more than 300, but still the Indian bowlers could not save that score. In such a situation, this time the bowlers will have to go ahead and take the responsibility of taking wickets. Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik will have to be at their best.
