India vs New Zealand, 2017 ODI series: 5 talking points

#3 Tom Latham’s form

Latham's exit in the third ODI kept NZ from victory

New Zealand arrived in India with a change in its batting lineup.

Tom Latham, who previously played in the top order, was moved to No. 5 and bestowed the role of wicketkeeper. Latham grabbed the opportunity and did not let the team down in either role, negating India’s spin bowling with ease.

If not for his run out in the third ODI, NZ would have had a strong chance of pulling off a victory.
