India vs New Zealand 3rd T20I has been played at the Hnry Stadium, Wellington. The Men in Blue have already won the first two games of the five-match series. A win in this game will help the side to win the series. During the chase, openers Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi went on a carnage run and broke the record for the fastest team 100 in T20Is.

Shreyas Iyer’s side has totally dominated the Kiwis at their back end. They have been at their very best, chasing down 226 runs in the first match with ease, then winning a thriller in the second game, and in the third game they are well ahead of the required run rate as they broke several records inside the powerplay.
