Post the Ranchi defeat that enabled New Zealand to force the decider in Visakhapatnam, the odds suddenly seem stacked against India.

Tepid start by the openers, an inadequate middle-order and a bowling attack that has run hot and cold have not helped India in this series. The Indians are clearly missing Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Lokesh Rahul.

New Zealand have never won a bilateral series in any format on India soil. They can overturn that script if at least five of their key players come good today.

Ross Taylor and Martin Guptill have shown glimpses of good form while the Kiwis will look for consistency from Tom Latham and skipper Kane Williamson with the bat. Corey Anderson could make a return to the playing XI to bolster the middle order.

New Zealand have the experience in bowling too. Tim Southee is the only New Zealand bowler to have taken three-wicket hauls in the series. He did it in Delhi and Ranchi and both came in winning causes. Mitchell Santner's tight left-arm spells have choked the Indian middle-order.

India have experimented with their batting line up. MS Dhoni batting at No. 4 has sent out mixed signals. When a team loses, tactics are invariably questioned. Dhoni will expect man-in-form Virat Kohli to come good and Rohit Sharma to make amends for his string of poor scores at the top of the order.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled at the nets on Friday. He was not 100 per cent in Ranchi and lost his place to Dhawal Kulkarni. Bumrah should make a return to the XI.

India have a 4-1 win-loss record in Visakhapatnam. But they will not start favourites this time against an upbeat Kiwi side.
