IND vs NZ Match Preview:
India will aim to secure the ODI series when they take on New Zealand in the third match at Seddon Park, Hamilton, on 10 November 2026 at 7:30 AM IST. The visitors currently hold a 2–0 lead in the five-match series after edging past New Zealand by four runs under the DLS method in the rain-affected second ODI in Wellington. Consequently, New Zealand face a must-win encounter to keep their series hopes alive, while India will look to maintain their winning momentum and clinch the series with another strong performance.
New Zealand struggled to build a competitive total in the second ODI, as India’s bowlers dismissed them for 134 in 41 overs. Daryl Mitchell stood out with 55 off 104 deliveries, while captain Mitchell Santner contributed 31 off 38 balls. However, India’s bowling attack maintained consistent pressure, with Gurnoor Brar leading the effort through an impressive 4/30. Auqib Nabi claimed 2/31, Anshul Kamboj finished with 2/25 and Axar Patel picked up 2/28. Following rain interruptions, India faced a revised target and reached 113/7 in 26 overs to secure a four-run DLS victory. Shreyas Iyer top-scored with 30 off 46 balls, while KL Rahul remained unbeaten on 26 off 38 and Rohit Sharma added 23 off 28. For New Zealand, Kyle Jamieson and Jacob Duffy took three wickets each, while Matthew Fisher claimed one.
The third ODI offers New Zealand an important opportunity to fight back, particularly by improving their top-order performance. Will Young, Tim Seifert and Henry Nicholls must provide a more reliable start, while Mitchell and Santner will once again be crucial in building partnerships under pressure. Meanwhile, India will take confidence from Brar’s four-wicket haul and the disciplined performance of their bowling unit. With the bat, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli will look to establish a solid foundation, while Iyer and Rahul provide stability in the middle order. Seddon Park generally offers a good batting surface, although New Zealand’s seamers could find some assistance with the new ball. Although the hosts will be determined to avoid a series defeat, India’s 2–0 advantage and recent performances give them the upper hand heading into this contest.
