The Barsapara Cricket Stadium at Guwahati will witness another high-octane clash as India take on New Zealand in the third and final T20I of the series on Sunday, January 25, 2026. With India already dominating the first two matches, the hosts are eyeing a clean sweep ahead of their World Cup title defence next month.

India wins the toss and elects to bowl first. Jasbrit Burah is back in the playing XI

Score: NZ 26/2 in 3 overs.

India XI: Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah.

India’s batting unit has been in irresistible form

Abhishek Sharma continues his purple patch, Rinku Singh has slotted seamlessly back into his finishing role, and Suryakumar Yadav finally translated his training ground brilliance into a match-winning knock in Raipur. Even Ishan Kishan, who blazed away in the second T20I, may not be a guaranteed starter when the World Cup arrives – a testament to India’s enviable batting depth.

New Zealand, meanwhile, has struggled to keep pace. Despite posting competitive totals, their bowlers have been unable to contain India’s aggressive batting. Skipper Mitchell Santner admitted his side needs to “go harder” and aim beyond 200 runs, acknowledging that even scores of 210 may not be enough against India’s batting firepower.

The big relief for India ahead of the Big T20 World Cup is that skipper Suryakumar Yadav ended his 24-innings-long rut for a T20 fifty. He said, “As I’ve said before, I was batting really well in the nets.

Everything I did back home over the last two or three weeks helped. I got a good break to spend time with my family and friends, had good practice sessions, and I’m really enjoying what’s happening right now.”

New Zealand:

Kyle Jamieson may replace Zakary Foulkes after the Raipur defeat. The Kiwis already had a good look at the Indian wickets by playing three ODIS abd three T20s as India is hosting the T20 World Cup 20206 next month.

India boasts a staggering 42-5 win-loss record in T20Is since January 2024. New Zealand have not won a single T20I against India, England, or Australia since the 2024 World Cup.

Shivam Dube has quietly emerged as India’s fourth-highest wicket-taker since the Asia Cup 2025.
