Gurnoor Brar, Jacob Duffy and Arshdeep Singh have been the standout bowling names across the first two matches of the series.
Seddon Park in Hamilton hosts the 3rd ODI of the five-match series between India and New Zealand on Tuesday, November 10, with India holding a 2-0 lead. Rain is forecast for the venue, which could result in a shortened contest.
Three bowlers have stood out across the first two matches: Gurnoor Brar for India, Jacob Duffy for New Zealand and Arshdeep Singh for India. All three carry notable numbers into Hamilton, and their performances could shape how the third game unfolds.
Here are 3 bowlers to watch out for in 3rd ODI:
3. Gurnoor Brar
Gurnoor Brar has been the most prolific wicket-taker of the series so far, collecting 7 wickets across 19.2 overs for 74 runs. His bowling average of 10.57, economy rate of 3.83 and strike rate of 16.57 reflect the sustained pressure he has applied across nearly 20 overs rather than isolated bursts.
He claimed 3 for 44 in the 1st ODI at Auckland and then produced a career-best ODI return of 4 for 30 in the 2nd ODI at Wellington, where New Zealand were dismissed for 134. Brar has taken a wicket roughly every 17 balls in the series, and he arrives at Hamilton as India's leading bowling threat, with his hit-the-deck skills proving vital on the surfaces in New Zealand so far.
