4:27 PM IST This is turning out to be another cracker-jack of an ODI series. The Kiwis have managed to upstage the hosts and have levelled the series at 1-1 and we now head into the decisive third game. Remember, New Zealand have never won a bilateral ODI series against India, in India and neither team will be backing down in the decider. The 3rd and final ODI will be played in Indore on Saturday, January 18 and will begin at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT). However, you can join us well in advance for the build-up. ADIOS. TAKE CARE.

4:26 PM IST MICHAEL BRACEWELL, the skipper of New Zealand, says that it was a complete performance from them and he is happy with the win. He says that they bowled really well and he is proud of his team. Further says that the guys adapted the conditions well and Will Young and Daryl Mitchell were excellent with the bat. He adds that they didn't target any particular bowler as such but they adapted with the conditions and played their natural game.

4:21 PM IST The Indian skipper, SHUBMAN GILL, says that they couldn't pick up wickets in the middle overs, which makes it difficult at the death to stop the batters and even if they had 10-15 runs more, it wouldn't have mattered. Adds that on these types of wickets, once you have a partnership, the set batters need to stick around for longer as it wasn't easy for the new batter and eventually, they did get to a decent total on the board. Reckons that in the first 10-15 overs that they bowled, the ball was doing a bit and they could have been braver in the middle overs. On the fielding lapses, Gill says that even in the last match, they put down a couple of chances and they pride themselves on being a good fielding unit and he feels that once you put down such chances, you most likely lose the game as well.

He further says that he has been working on his batting and ends by saying that they had to win the game, and he enjoyed his partnership with Daryl Mitchell.
