The 5th and final ODI between India and New Zealand is being played today at the Bay-Oval ground in Mount Maunganui. This is the same ground where the fourth match of the series was played and Team India had to face a huge defeat of 244 runs in that match. The third match of the series was washed out due to rain. At present the Indian team is ahead 2-1 in the series. In such a situation, the team would like to win the last match and capture the Men in Blue series. On the other hand, host New Zealand would like to win the match and end the series at 2-2.
If Team India wins the last ODI then it will win the series 3-1. If New Zealand is successful in winning even today then the series will end in a tie of 2-2. Shubman Gill was seen captaining in the first 3 matches but Iyer is the captain for the last 2 matches.
