India clinical yet again. They go 3-0 up after three games, and now take an unassailable lead in the series. No real standout performer for the visitors today. Contributions from all the bowlers, and the top five batsmen too. A team performance. Simple for New Zealand. They didn't make enough runs. They need to improve in the first and last ten overs of their innings. Can the hosts restore some pride in the next match? Or will India make it 4-0? Find out on Thursday.
