History at stake as India, NZ clash in Indore ODI decider

Indore, Jan 17 (UNI) History is at stake as India take on New Zealand in the third and deciding One-Day International of the New Zealand tour of India at the Holkar Cricket Stadium here on Sunday, with the visitors aiming to script a rare ODI series victory on Indian soil after nearly two decades.
With the series evenly poised at 1-1, the decider has assumed added significance. India will look to draw confidence from their formidable home record, having never lost an ODI series to New Zealand in India over the last 20 years and remaining unbeaten at Indore with a perfect 7–0 record at the venue.
India enter the contest after suffering a seven-wicket defeat in the second ODI at Rajkot, where despite a fighting unbeaten century from KL Rahul (112) and a fluent half-century by skipper Shubman Gill (56), they were restricted to 284 for seven on a good batting surface. The total proved insufficient as New Zealand chased it down comfortably, reaching 286 for three in 47.3 overs.
