India vs New Zealand 3rd ODI – Match Result

Updated：New Zealand beat India.

In Rajkot, it felt like the ghosts of past finals were watching as KL Rahul and Daryl Mitchell went head-to-head, each scoring impressive hundreds fueled by their unfinished stories. Rahul played with the fire of memory, reminiscent of his performance in Ahmedabad 2023, taking bold risks to guide India confidently through the death overs. On the other side, Mitchell emerged with a clear mindset, making quick work of spin bowlers early on and determined not to hold back like he did in Dubai 2025. Both innings felt less like battles against bowlers and more like grappling with their own pasts. As the pitch slowed down under the lights, Rahul pondered the possibilities of what could have been, while Mitchell stepped up when it counted, transforming those reflections into determined action.

New Zealand register a 41-run victory in the decider and win the series 2-1
