Napier [New Zealand]: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the 3rd and last T20I versus India in Napier because of a pre-arranged clinical appointment.

” Kane has been attempting to get this reserved in for some time currently, yet however it has actually not had the ability to match our timetable,” Stead claimed.
” The wellness and health of our gamers and also team is extremely important, and also we expect seeing him in Auckland.”

Star batter Suryakumar Yadav (111 * off 51 rounds) and batting all-rounder Deepak Hooda (4 wickets for 10 runs) were the celebrities of the match.

However, his reduced strike rate of 118.76 has actually hurt his time both while establishing a target or chasing it.
