India and New Zealand are set to face each other in the third T20I in Wellington today. The venue, formerly known as Sky Stadium, has not been particularly successful for India in the past. A victory in this encounter would give the hosts an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series.
Several talking points have emerged ahead of the contest. With Ishan Kishan ruled out of the third T20I, questions remain over whether young batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi could get an opportunity in the playing XI. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will also be under scrutiny after conceding 99 runs in his eight overs across the first two matches. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma could achieve the milestone of 150 sixes for India in T20 International cricket.
With plenty at stake, fans will be eager to know how they can watch the match live without paying for a separate subscription.
