The Kiwis team done well in the last match but the magical innings of Pathan broke the momentum of New Zealand team. The team will look to go with the same combination and provide one more opportunity to their young players to prove their selves.

The India team out played New Zealand team in every section in this series. They stick to basics and played very well. They have proved yet again that their batsman can chase any target and all are in super form. The form of Yousuf Pathan will be a good sign for team India. The only worry factor for team India is there bowling. The bowlers not bowled well in the last match and provide enough runs to the New Zealand team. The best thing for team India is that they are playing this series with out their senior players but still giving New Zealand team a tough fight.

The New Zealand team is not getting things in their favor after the loss of last match. They got every thing right but in the end pathan breaks the hopes of New Zealand team.
