New Zealand To Win, 2.10
New Zealand has won both ODIs of this series
The Black Caps' batting lineup has been far more stable and dependable than the English
The seamers from the home team have been much better at using pace, bounce and movement of the New Zealand conditions
NZ vs ENG Betting Tips
England exact total runs in the first over to be three runs or less
England was forced into a maiden over to start its innings in the second ODI. With the batting unit under severe pressure currently, it would be no surprise to have another quiet over to start the third ODI too.
Daryl Mitchell to score more than 30.5 runs
The New Zealand middle-order batter has taken this ODI series by storm. With back-to-back half-centuries, Mitchell would be a strong favourite to make a bet like this worth the risk. His current form suggests this is a reasonably safe bet.

NZ vs ENG Team Previews
New Zealand
New Zealand, having secured an unassailable two-nil series lead, is aiming for a dominant clean sweep against a fragile England side. The hosts are perfectly equipped to exploit the holes in the English lineup. The team has been overly reliant on the individual brilliance of Harry Brook.
The key to New Zealand's success lies in its depth and form across both batting and bowling disciplines. The relentless batting unit is secured by Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell has been the undisputed player of the series for his side with 134 runs currently. He has shared three half-century partnerships this series too.
Rachin Ravindra and the world-class presence of Kane Williamson have ably supported him. Captain Mitchell Santner provides crucial tactical acumen in the field and with his tight left-arm spin.
Equally decisive is their bowling attack, which has bundled England out for low totals of 223 and 175. Pace attack revelations Zakary Foulkes, four for 41 in the first ODI, and Blair Tickner, four for 34 in the second ODI, hold a clear psychological advantage over the English top-order.
Playing at home in conditions that reward smart cricket, New Zealand will show their dominance against an English side which has been battered in the first two ODIs.
New Zealand Expected Playing 11
Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (wk), Michael Bracewell, Mitchell Santner (c), Nathan Smith, Zakary Foulkes, Blair Tickner, Jacob Duffy

England
England's path to the final ODI against New Zealand looks bleak due to systemic batting flaws and a lack of collective form. Despite the potential of players like Jofra Archer and the crucial experience of Joe Root and Jos Buttler, the batting unit remains disjointed and overly reliant on captain Harry Brook. Across both England innings in the first two ODIs, 14 batters’ innings ended in single-figure scores.
The failures of Jamie Smith, Ben Duckett and Jacob Bethell all highlight how England has struggled to handle New Zealand's pace attack. The opening partnerships in this series have only been worth zero and three runs respectively.
The main weakness is an inability to absorb pressure. When New Zealand's in-form new-ball bowlers strike early, the middle and lower order has been forced into reckless shots. The struggling batting lineup has been forced into collapse rather than consolidation.
The batting lineup has repeatedly failed to bat out its overs. Three of England’s past five ODIs have all seen the team bowled out before batting its 50 overs. England's fate rests on individual genius, but one player can’t do the job on his own.
England Expected Playing 11
Jamie Smith, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid
NZ vs ENG Toss Prediction
New Zealand has won all its past three ODIs against England by bowling first. It would be no surprise if either captain prefers to get first use of the new ball.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
This Wellington surface should be suitable for batting with true and consistent bounce. Batters should feel confident to play their shots. New-ball seamers can find assistance early on under overcast conditions. The pitch would be on the drier side because of the recent weather. That will bring the spinners into the game later. England has an average first-innings score of 199 in this series.
The weather for the day is expected to be partly sunny, but warm and humid nonetheless. With only a five percent chance of rain, weather interruptions will be highly unlikely.
NZ vs ENG: Who Will Win?
New Zealand has the home advantage and series momentum on its side. With England’s batting scars wide open, the New Zealand seamers will smell blood. The home side’s batting has also been calm and composed in the chase. They will be strong favourites to seal the ODI series without a loss.
Bet on New Zealand to win.
