Rain Washes Out Third India-New Zealand ODI

The third ODI between India and New Zealand was abandoned without a result after continuous rain disrupted proceedings at Seddon Park in Hamilton.

India had opted to field first after winning the toss, but persistent showers prevented the match from getting underway. Even attempts to prepare the ground for a shortened 40-over contest proved unsuccessful.

India continue to hold a 2-0 lead in the five-match ODI series. The final two matches are scheduled to take place in Tauranga on November 13 and 15.

Meanwhile, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul will travel to Wellington to join India’s Test squad. Shreyas Iyer is set to captain the team in the remaining ODIs, with Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan likely to get opportunities in the playing XI.
