India will look to prevent a whitewash in the ODI series when they face New Zealand in the third and final ODI at the Bay Oval in Mount Maungania on Tuesday, 11 February.

After a 5-0 drubbing in the five-match T20I series, the Kiwis have done well to win back-to-back ODIs in Hamilton and Auckland respectively and take an unassailable in the series.

Till date, India have played two ODIs at the venue and are yet to lose a match. Both their wins came last year during the five-match ODIs series which the visitors had won 4-1. During their previous ODI series in New Zealand, opener Rohit Sharma starred with the bat but unfortunately he isn’t playing this series due to a calf injury.

Meanwhile, Martin Guptill is the leading run scorer at the venue with 2 centuries and a fifty from 8 innings.
