Captain Shubman Gill called tails and the coin fell India's way for the seventh time in eight matches across the T20 and ODI series. India has bowled first on each occasion. Rain also affected the first match of the series in Auckland which India won by five wickets and the second in Wellington, which India won by four runs to take a 2-0 series lead. Both matches were decided under the Duckworth Lewis system New Zealand made one change to its lineup, recalling pacer Matt Fisher in place of Blair Tickner. India's lineup is unchanged. ___ Lineups: New Zealand: Will Young, Tim Seifert, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner (captain), Nathan Smith, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Fisher, Jacob Duffy.
