Although the series might already be decided, there's still a lot on the line as the two mighty teams face off against each other one last time at Seddon Park this Sunday.

Fresh off their exciting 87-run victory at Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand will look to put some momentum of their own into this game. Having broken India's flawless streak in the fourth match, New Zealand (Black Caps) will look to protect their home advantage and win the final match. India will be looking to bounce back from their rare slip-up and get back on track to win the series 4-1.

Everything is set for an action-packed final at 12:30 PM IST.

Batter's Paradise at Seddon Park: India vs New Zealand

Based on previous games here, you can expect some fireworks. The pitch is a batter's paradise, offering a true and consistent bounce. This means the batters will be comfortable hitting through the line of the ball. The short boundaries make this park the perfect place for aggressive batting.

Batters may face some difficulties here, though:

Powerplay danger zone

The opening overs will pose a threat to the openers as there will be plenty of movement off the pitch from the seamers.

Spinners at the death

During the middle overs, spinners will play a crucial role with the small variations they can offer to slow down the scoring rate. The par score for the 1st innings is usually around 175-185. However, due to the speed of this pitch, it would be dangerous to get anywhere near 200.

Interesting Stats

Overall, Seddon Park is an attacking pitch. However, the short boundaries mean there is never any real threat to chasing a score.

Can India break their Hamilton curse?

Despite dominating the format as a whole, Seddon Park remains a challenge for the Men in Blue.

In their previous two games in this format, India have yet to win a 20-over international at this ground in regulation time. In their history at the ground, they have suffered a close loss and a heart-stopping tie. However, they were able to snatch it through a dramatic Super Over.

India's best score at this ground was 208/6 thanks to Rohit Sharma's 65. This is the best score for any Indian batter in a T20I at Seddon Park.

Both sides will be aiming for a strong finish on Sunday after a strong start in Auckland. In what promises to be an exciting game, both teams will need to play well in the powerplays to come out on top.
