   ​India have a golden chance to wrap up the five-match T20I series against New Zealand as they arrive in Wellington for the third game with a 2-0 lead.The visitors have made it look comfortable so far, and the conditions in the capital could make it easier still.MAKE YOUR BET WITH DAFABET AND GET UP TO 200% WELCOME BONUSBoth matches in Christchurch ended with India chasing under the lights, and the dew and the 8pm start times made batting second a lot easier. New Zealand’s sloppy fielding then handed India much of what the conditions hadn’t already given them.The hosts have reached Wellington in a weaker position as well, since Matt Henry has been rested for the remaining games and Lockie Ferguson will sit this one out.With both of those bowlers missing, the Blackcaps’ seam attack looks short of experience and firepower. Their pacers have picked up only four wickets across the series so far, which shows how little pressure they’ve put on India’s batters.Add The Sporting News as a preferred news sourceLive scorecardNew Zealand vs. India 3rd T20I: Live updates and toss resultNew Zealand Batting updatesAfter 10 overs, NZ are 100/2New Zealand controlled the middle-overs phase between overs 6 and 10, as they plundered 42 runs despite losing Finn Allen to Nitish Kumar Reddy.
