The third NZ vs IND ODI has been affected by rain.
India were leading the five-match ODI series against New Zealand by 2-0 heading into the third match. The visitors won the first ODI in Auckland by five wickets before securing a close four-run victory in the second match in Wellington.
Both matches were affected by rain and ended with the help of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method. India were looking to win the third ODI and seal the series with two matches still remaining.
However, rain once again interrupted proceedings in Hamilton. The third ODI was scheduled to take place at Seddon Park on Tuesday, November 10, but the toss was delayed due to bad weather.
India eventually won the toss and elected to bowl first. The match was reduced to 40 overs per side, but persistent rain continued to affect proceedings. Despite several inspections and hopes of a restart, the weather did not improve.
The umpires eventually abandoned the third ODI without a single ball being bowled. As a result, both teams shared points, and India retained their 2-0 lead in the series.

As per ODI rules, both teams need to play at least 20 overs each for a result to be possible, unless a team is bowled out earlier. If the match cannot reach this minimum requirement due to rain, it will be declared a no-result.
However, rain continued in Hamilton, and there was little improvement in the weather conditions. The ground staff also brought additional covers onto the field as the wait continued.
With no possibility of completing the minimum required overs, the umpires decided to abandon the match.
With the third ODI abandoned and India already leading the series by 2-0 lead, Shubman Gill’s team will now look to secure the series in the remaining matches, while New Zealand will aim to make a comeback.
