Rain clouds loom over the third ODI between India and New Zealand on Tuesday in Hamilton. With the visitors leading the series 2-0, the Kiwis will be hoping for a result to keep the series alive.
However, rain could play spoilsport as heavy showers are forecast throughout the day. With a couple of Indian players set to play their last match of the ODI series before preparing for the Test setup, India will be hoping to clinch the series in this game itself if the match takes place.
Check out the Hamilton weather report for the match and how the series has unfolded so far.

India vs New Zealand ODI Series: Results So Far
India have been very dominant in this ODI series after winning the T20I series previously. In the first match of the series, Virat Kohli's power packed half century helped India chase down the target with ease.
Meanwhile, in the second match, rain once again disrupted the game as the match was reduced to 47 overs before the first ball was bowled. New Zealand were bundled out for 134 runs on a tricky surface.
India held their nerve in the second innings to keep the DLS score ahead of them. Despite losing a couple of wickets, they went on to win the match by a narrow margin of 4 runs through the DLS method. Gurnoor Brar was the star of the show in the second match with his exceptional bowling performance.
