Just as the covers were coming off for a 40-over-a-side match, another downpour disrupted proceedings
India vs NZ 3rd ODI called off due to rain: The third ODI between India and New Zealand was called off due to rain on Tuesday. The match was held at Seddon Park in Hamilton. India is leading the 5- match series 2-0.
Shubman Gill won the toss for the third consecutive time and opted to bowl first but due to rain, no play was possible. Just as the covers were coming off for a 40-over-a-side match, another downpour disrupted proceedings, prompting the umpires to call off the game.
The weather forecast for this game had always been gloomy, with a 90 per cent chance of rain predicted throughout the day.
This was supposed to be the last game of the series for skipper Shubman Gill and senior wicketkeeper KL Rahul before they link up with the Test squad in Wellington. They will be accompanied by Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Kamboj and Mohammed Siraj.
