Match Preview & Toss
Holkar Stadium Indore Pitch Report
Shubman Gill won toss, chose to field first expecting early help at Holkar Stadium Indore. The IND vs NZ 3rd ODI 2026 pitch delivered reputation - short boundaries (62m), true bounce, minimal turn. Arshdeep Singh & Harshit Rana struck early, reducing NZ to 5/2 in 4.3 overs.
Pitch Characteristics That Changed Everything
Holkar Stadium transformed into carnage zone once Daryl Mitchell & Glenn Phillips settled. Their 219-run partnership exploited field restrictions. India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI became highest-ever Holkar ODI total until NZ innings ended at 337/8.
Historic Batting Partnerships
Daryl Mitchell 137: Player of Series Masterclass
Daryl Mitchell 137 (119 balls, 14 fours, 5 sixes) was innings-defining. Mitchell's back-to-back centuries in India made him first Kiwi achieving this feat. Series stats: 352 runs @176 average - most by overseas batter in India ODIs this decade.
MITCHELL vs INDIA STATS: 352 runs, 176 avg, 2 centuries, SR 105.2, 45 fours, 12 sixes
Mitchell's Tactical Genius
Mitchell absorbed pressure after 5/2 collapse, rotated strike vs spin, then exploded vs pace. His stumping off Kuldeep Yadav (137) came after partnership record broken. NZ first ODI series win India owes everything to this man.
Glenn Phillips 106: Perfect Foil
Glenn Phillips 106 (98 balls, 10 fours, 4 sixes) complemented Mitchell perfectly in 219-run 4th wicket stand. Phillips' 20-run over vs Harshit Rana shifted momentum irreversibly. First time two Kiwis scored ODI centuries vs India same innings.
India's Chase Collapse
Virat Kohli 54th ODI Century In Vain
Virat Kohli 124 (110 balls, 12 fours, 3 sixes) marked 54th ODI century & 85th international ton. After 71/4 collapse (Rohit, Iyer, Rahul out cheap), Kohli's masterclass kept India alive till 46th over.
KOHLI MILESTONE: 54th ODI 100 | 85th intl ton | 10th vs NZ | Home: 18th ton | SR 112.72
Why India Failed Despite Kohli Genius
Without Axar Patel & Hardik Pandya (injured), Kohli got Nitish Reddy 53 & Harshit Rana 52* support. But Kohli dismissal (caught long-on off Lockie Ferguson, 46 needed off 27) ended chase at 296 all out.
Bowling Analysis
India's Bowling Report Card
Arshdeep Singh 3/62 led fightback with early Nicholls dismissal & tail cleanup. Harshit Rana 3/58 troubled everyone with bounce. Kuldeep Yadav 1/72 leaked during record stand. Washington Sundar 1/54 economical but lacked penetration.
Middle-Overs Disaster
India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI bowling exposed middle-overs weakness. 337/8 conceded highest by India at Holkar Stadium. NZ batting depth overwhelmed attack despite 6 wickets falling.
Match Turning Points
