India vs New Zealand: Series So Far
The third game was a heartbreaking one for cricket fans in Hamilton as the match was washed out without a ball being bowled. The toss took place, where Shubman Gill opted to bowl first, but rain returned repeatedly and did not allow any play to take place. The match was eventually abandoned.
A similar story unfolded in the first 2 games as well, where rain interruptions affected the matches, but results were decided using DLS method.
In the first ODI, New Zealand were bowled out for 185 runs in Auckland. India chased down the revised target, powered by Virat Kohli's impressive half century.
The second match was a low-scoring encounter on a tricky surface in Wellington, where New Zealand were once again bundled out for 134 runs.
India also lost several quick wickets during the chase, but KL Rahul's unbeaten 26 helped the visitors stay ahead of the DLS par score. Rain disrupted the latter part of the match, and India were declared winners by 4 runs under the DLS method
