IND vs NZ, Match 3: Top Five Picks
- Suryakumar Yadav (IND): The Indian middle-order batter has been the adhesive for the 'Men in Blue' in the series. He has dug the team out of the hole in both the matches and is looking in good form. SKY has to be a must-pick for the match.
- Devon Conway (NZ): The Kiwi opener played a good knock in the first match. Although, he failed to deliver on a difficult in the second T20, he will be eager to perform to the besto of his abilities in the series decider. Hence, speaking of the Kiwi side, Conway is someone not be missed out on in this match.
- Washington Sundar (IND): The Indian all-rounder has been at his best in the series. Washington has delivered for the team's cause with both the bat and the ball. He is a utility player who can be a great point earner in the match.
- Mitchell Santner (NZ): The standing Kiwi skipper has been very good with the ball in the tournament. Mitchell Santner has been the hardest to handle from the visitors camp. Besides, he is more than capable to contribute with the bat coming lower down the order and this makes him a great pick for the match.
- Arshdeep Singh (IND): The Indian left-armer's recent form has not been that great. But in the last match it seemed like Arshdeep is slowly getting his rhythm back. He might be a risky pick for the match but he will be one worth taking.
