New Zealand vs. India 3rd ODI: Match called off without a ball being bowled due to heavy rain in Hamilton

New Zealand hoped to get on the board as they took on India in the 3rd ODI of the five-match series at Seddon Park, Hamilton, on Tuesday.

The visitors jumped to a 2-0 lead after a narrow four-run win over New Zealand on Saturday via DLS. Indian pacers Auqib Nabi (2/31) and Gurnoor Brar (4/3) set up victory as they skittled out the hosts for 134 runs in 41 overs.

India then chased down the rain-shortened target of 110 in 26 overs.

Batting has been a concern for New Zealand in the ODI series as their batters have struggled to tackle the seam and swing on fresh wickets. Mitchell Santner’s side is also dealing with a few injury concerns, including that of pacers Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry.
