India 2-0 up as third ODI of India tour of New Zealand 2026 set for Seddon Park on Nov 10

India hold a 2-0 lead over New Zealand in the ongoing ODI series and will face them in the third ODI of the India tour of New Zealand 2026 at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, with the match scheduled to start at 7:30 AM IST.

India secured consecutive victories to move 2-0 ahead; the second ODI was a very close, low-scoring match that India won by the DLS method after rain interrupted play, with batters from both sides described as having struggled against the bounce and pace. Conditions in Hamilton are expected to be similar, and forecasters predict rain during the game, creating the possibility of a rain-affected contest for a third consecutive meeting between these sides.

These teams have met in 125 ODIs to date: India have won 65, New Zealand 52, with seven matches abandoned and one tied. Those head-to-head numbers are reported as the sides prepare for the Hamilton fixture.

Local forecasts for Tuesday in Hamilton predict 55% precipitation with 92% humidity and a maximum temperature of 18°C. The Seddon Park wicket is described as offering good bounce and pace, with new-ball swing available to fast bowlers and conditions expected to remain consistent for much of the match; the report also notes boundaries are not big and that overcast weather will give extra advantage.

New Zealand's named XI is: Will Young, Tim Seifert, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Tom Latham (wk), Mitchell Santner (c), Nathan Smith, Kyle Jamieson, Matt Fisher, Jacob Duffy. India's named XI is: Shubman Gill (c), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar, Arshdeep Singh.

Captain First-Choice: Glenn Phillips || Captain Second-Choice: Axar Patel. Vice-Captain First-Choice: Shubman Gill || Vice-captain Second-Choice: Mitch Santner.

An alternative fantasy combination listed reads: Batters: Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Daryl Mitchell; All-rounders: Mitch Santner, Glenn Phillips, Axar Patel; Bowlers: Anshul Kamboj, Jacob Duffy, Kyle Jamieson, Anshul Kamboj. Captain First-Choice: Virat Kohli || Captain Second-Choice: Gurnoor Brar. Vice-Captain First-Choice: Daryl Mitchell || Vice-captain Second-Choice: Jacob Duffy.

The report states: "The way the first two games have ended, New Zealand would be under a lot of pressure. Their batting has not clicked in any games. Though Indian batters have also found it tough, they have more experience at the top. The toss will be key here, and bowling first will be an advantage. We back India to win the third ODI on Tuesday."
