India leads 2-0 in the five-match series

Hamilton. The third ODI cricket match between India and New Zealand to be played at Seddon Park on Tuesday was canceled due to rain. India is leading 2-0 in the five-match series.

Indian captain Shubman Gill won the toss for the third consecutive time and decided to bowl first. India did not make any changes in the team that played in the last two matches. However, when the covers were removed from the field for the 40-40 over match, it started raining once again. Despite there being at least 70 minutes left in the scheduled time limit of 7:50 pm local time for the 20-20 over match, both umpires decided to abandon the match.

The weather forecast for this match was already gloomy with a 90 percent chance of rain throughout the day. This was to be the last match of captain Shubman Gill and experienced wicketkeeper batsman Lokesh Rahul in the series. After this both will join the Test team in Wellington. Along with him, Kuldeep Yadav, Anshul Kamboj and Mohammad Siraj will also join the Test team. In the absence of Gill, Shreyas Iyer will captain the Indian team in the last two matches. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan are likely to get a place in the eleven for the last two matches.
