India bowl after toss as rain delays third ODI at Seddon Park, Hamilton

Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl as rain delayed the start of the third one-day international between India and New Zealand at Seddon Park in Hamilton on November 10, 2026. Showers prevented an immediate start to play.

"Rain, rain, go away" were the prayers of fans in Hamilton and spectators raised umbrellas as the weather closed in; the pitch was covered after the toss when the rain began to pour. After the toss, Shubman Gill said, "Hope the weather clears and that we repeat our performance. Going on and off is quite frustrating, hope we can play continuously." India announced an unchanged playing XI.

New Zealand made one change to their side, bringing in Matt Fisher in place of Tickner. New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner said, "Hope to do what we did the other day better. Gotta assess conditions today."

New Zealand were named as: Will Young, Tim Seifert, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner (capt), Nathan Smith, Kyle Jamieson, Jacob Duffy, Matt Fisher.

India's unchanged XI was listed as: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (Capt), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Arshdeep Singh, Auqib Nabi, Gurnoor Brar.
