The Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid era in the shortest format has begun with a series victory for team India. They have taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 with one game to go. It would be an inconsequential match for the hosts as they will look to give chances to the players who have been on the bench so far.
It’s been a sorry last few days for New Zealand. First, they lost in the final of the T20 World Cup. Then, the Kiwis lost the toss in both the matches of this series that proved to be a major factor. Despite the toss result, their performance has been well below par. The visitors would be playing for pride in the last T20I.
