The Series is now well poised with Kiwis winning the 2nd ODI with some intent and India would be quite disappointed with the things those turned in anti chasing modest total. Much to losing or winning both sides struggled with bat to keep the momentum in check apart from some characteristic knocks, as they now move from Delhi to Mohali it's more about keeping flow of runs on Sunday.
While the bowling on the other hand had good results even with an even inexperienced attack from hosts and Kiwis turned to their main weapons to win their first match of the tour. Apart from technical aspects the dew had also been becoming a vital concern to handle with temperatures falling down and Kiwis handled it pretty well overcoming that later in the night at Delhi.
Although coming back to the batting Taylor's poor run hurting them badly and Corey Anderson struggling with his new role in the middle order purely as an batsmen. On the other hand Indian lineup has been tricky with some soft dismissals and their reliability on top order made the middle order tested, but the lower order had made some contributions at Delhi with Jadhav and Pandya's brick knocks.
In the meantime the pitch at Mohali had some grass to work with on the eve of the match, Although it will be interesting to see whether it produces runs or would be on the slower side. The last time India played against Australia at the venue, where Ishanth taken for a trolling against Faulkner which eventually put his shorter format run under the scanner.
But for now the pacers produced good outings in the series and there's certainly work to do be done with the bat though. At the end the 3rd ODI at Mohali will test batsmen in the afternoon and at the same time spinners will enjoy the long square boundaries, although at night it will be handling dew for the defending team to come on top. Anyways the contest will be heated up in cool temperatures as Both sides yet show their potential with the bat.
