Team India head coach Ravi Shastri offered prayers at the famous Thiruvallam Sree Parasurama temple in Thiruvananthapuram ahead of the third and final T20I between India and New Zealand. After winning the first T20I by 53 runs India slumped to a 40-run defeat in the next match at Rajkot. The weather forecast for the decider on Tuesday indicates a possibility of a thunderstorm. The match is scheduled to start at 7 pm and according to the weather forecast, the chances of rain loom large. If rain acts as a spoiler, both the teams will have to share the trophy, just like T20 series between India and Australia last month.
