After the 2nd ODI was washed out know in the 3rd ODI it was very important for Kiwis to come back in the third ODI.The real problem for the Kiwis in the first two games was that they were not able to slow down the rate of the India batsmen.And one more question was that why they are making batting wickets , if they make green wickets Indian team may struggle.
Indian Captain won the toss and chose to bat first.This time Kiwis got the wicket of Sehwag early which has been the real danger man.Gautam Gambhir also got our early.Then Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh had a great partnership of 138.India took their batting powerplay from 23rd over and this was the time India totally took game from New Zealand.Indian batting dominated the kiwis bowling during the whole inning.One more thing effected the Kiwis bowling that Butler could not bowl his 10 overs because he got injured.Yuvraj Singh made 87 , Dhoni scored 68 and Sachin Tendulkar made 163 and was retired hurt.Tim Southee gave 105 runs in his 10 overs.India managed to make 392 of their 50 overs with the loss of only 4 wickets.
So Kiwis had to score 8 runs per over to win the match and surely it was a very tough ask for them.New Zealand had a great 1st wicket partnership between BB McCullum and Ryder.They shared the partnership of 166 and they were looking good and were in a position to win the match for their team until BB McCullum got run out and then wickets started to tumble and after some time they were 251 for 8 down.Then Southee and Mills tried to take their team to victory but the Indian total was too much for them.For New Zealand Ryder scored 105 , BB McCullum scored 70 and Mill made 54.Harbajan Singh,Yuvraj Singh and Z Khan took 3 wickets each.Sachin Tendulkar got the man of the match and India are now 2-0 up in 5 match series after 3 game.
