IND vs NZ 3rd T20 Match Dream11 Prediction
India’s absolutely flying right now heading into tonight’s match at Guwahati! The Barsapara Cricket Stadium hosts this third T20I on January 25, 2026, at 7:00 PM IST. Home advantage? Massive. Deep batting? Scary good honestly.
Bumrah and Arshdeep’s bowling attack looks unplayable these days. The Kiwis can’t seem to find any rhythm with the bat lately. Adapting to Indian pitches has been their nightmare throughout this tour.
One more win tonight wraps up the series for India. Jio Hotstar and Star Sports got you covered.

Guwahati’s pitch loves power-hitters with excellent true bounce throughout. First-innings teams average 185-190 runs at this venue. The pitch report shows teams bowling first won 2 of 3 T20Is here. Captains might prefer bowling first after winning the toss.
