A confident Shikhar Dhawan strides out to open the batting with Rohit Sharma, who has struggled for runs in this series so far.

Tim Southee gets some extra bounce with the first ball as Rohit defends before he takes a single off the next to get off the mark.

Dhawan flicks a full delivery to fine leg for one off the next delivery before Rohit plays a cut shot but it is well stopped by the fielder at point.

Trent Boult to bowl the second over. Dhawan drives the second ball through the off-side but can't beat the fielder in the covers. However, three balls later he opens the face of the bat and steers a wide delivery square on the off-side for a four.

Rohit looks to guide Southee to thirdman but can't beat the fielder before he leaves the next two balls and then gets it to thirdman for one and Dhawan defends the last two balls.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has won the toss and elected to bowl in the series deciding third and final ODI in Kanpur.

Captain Virat Kohli says 'keeping the dew in mind even they would have loved to bowl' but he adds that it looks a good wicket to bat on.

Interestingly, both teams have retained their playing XIs from the last match.

The last match at this venue was a run feast. South Africa had posted 303 in the last ODI, played at Green Park two years ago and India fell short by five runs in a thrilling run chase.

Welcome to the coverage of the third and final One-Day International between India and New Zealand in Kanpur on Sunday.

India are looking to make it seven ODI series wins in a row, while New Zealand are aiming to create history by winning their first-ever series in India.

India will strive to play with the same grit they displayed in the second match in Pune when they square off against New Zealand in the third and final ODI.

Under tremendous pressure after a long time following the defeat in the first ODI of the three-match series, the Indian players showed a lot of character and came up with a near flawless performance in the second game to level the series 1-1.

Captain Virat Kohli and his team thrive on challenges and they will back themselves to win their seventh ODI series in a row when they take the field at the Green Park Stadium, which will be hosting its first 50-over game under lights.

The Indian team executed its plans perfectly in Pune, especially on the bowling front with in-form pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah doing the job early on as well as in the death overs.

The spinners bounced back well after an off-day in Mumbai. Yuzvendra Chahal, who failed to claim a wicket in the first game, struck twice while Axar Patel, who replaced chinaman Kuldeep Yadav, found the stumps of the in-form Tom Latham.

On the batting front, a big positive for India in Pune was Dinesh Karthik delivering at No.4 with an unbeaten 64. The team management has tried as many as 11 players at the number four spot since the 2015 World Cup and Karthik certainly did enough to stake his claim in that position going forward.

Shikhar Dhawan getting a 50-plus score after six innings was also good news for India. The stylish southpaw struck the ball beautifully and will be hoping to give his team another good start in the must-win game.

However, his opening partner Rohit Sharma is due for a big score after making 7 and 20 in the earlier games.

Just like the home team, the Black Caps will look to get back to winning ways as they are within touching distance of a rare series-win in India.

They will have to put up a better batting effort than what they managed in the previous game.
