After clinching the ODI series with an unassailable 2-0 lead, a dominant India A will now look to complete the whitewash when they lock horns against New Zealand A in the final ODI on Thursday.
Led by Unmukt Chand, India A have produced a dominating show in the three-match unofficial ODI series so far as they thrashed the visitors by six wickets in the first two games.
Their six-wicket victory on Tuesday sealed the series for the hosts and they may look to test their bench strength, giving a chance to spinner Jalaj Saxena and batsman Sanju Samson.
Chand has, so far, led his team by example as he scored 94 and 59 in the first two ODIs while his opening partner Robin Uthappa also scored a century in the lung-opener.
The U-19 World Cup winning captain scripted a good comeback after his twin failures in the Test series to top the list of highest run-scorer in the limited-overs rubber so far and he would look for another good show from his bat to help his team inflict a whitewash on the tourists. Uthappa, who is in ODI exile, would be hoping to produce another sparkling show after the opening ODI ton to catch the eyes of national selectors with limited overs series against the West Indies and South Africa in sight.
New Zealand, on the other hand, would look to restore some pride by putting up a better show in the final ODI and would do their best to win the match.
