Daijiworld Media Network - Hamilton
Hamilton, Nov 10: The third One-Day International between India and New Zealand was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain at Seddon Park on Tuesday.
India had won the toss and elected to bowl in the rain-affected match. Despite preparations to reduce the contest to 40 overs per side, continuous showers prevented any play, forcing the umpires to call off the match.
India continue to lead the five-match series 2-0, with the remaining two matches scheduled to be played in Tauranga on November 13 and 15.
India captain Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul will join the country's Test squad in Wellington, while Shreyas Iyer will lead the side in the final two ODIs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan are expected to feature in India's playing XI for the remaining matches.
