The 3rd NZ vs IND ODI will be played at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Tuesday.
Team India have taken a 2-0 lead in the ongoing five-match ODI series against New Zealand. The visitors have won consecutive games to earn a chance to become the first visiting team to beat New Zealand in a bilateral ODI series for the first time since 2019.
The third ODI is scheduled to begin at 7:30 AM IST on Tuesday at Seddon Park in Hamilton. Another win will lend India a series win and a consecutive series win on this tour.
New Zealand have been poor with the bat, and they have failed to adjust to these conditions. Though Indian batters have also struggled against seam and bounce, they have had a better contribution from their bowling unit.
The last game was very close, where India were declared the winner by the DLS method, by a close margin of four runs. Both teams will face a similar challenge in the third game, as the weather forecast isn’t encouraging.

Even worse is predicted for the upcoming game in Hamilton. The forecast shows heavy rain throughout the day, with over 90% precipitation. Several pictures of heavy rain are being circulated on social media near the stadium.
According to AccuWeather, the heavy rain is likely to persist from 2:30 PM on Tuesday to 1:30 AM on Wednesday. The temperature will reach a maximum of 18°C with an average wind speed of 18-20 kmph during the scheduled time.
It has been continuously raining in Hamilton for the last couple of days. The wicket is also under cover. So, there is a high chance of a delayed start even if the rain stops. Or else, the whole match might get washed out.
The series is currently in favor of India. If the third ODI gets washed out, India will be in a position where they can’t lose the series.
