New Zealand takes on India in the third ODI on November 27, Sunday in Hamilton. The Kiwis lead the series 1-0 after winning the first ODI by seven wickets. It was their fifth consecutive win over India and their 50th overall against the Men in Blue. The second ODI was washed out due to rain. The ODI series is a part of the ODI World Cup Super League. 

The Kiwis bowled just 12.5 overs in the second ODI after they won the toss and opted to field first. India scored 82 runs and lost just one wicket. There was not much to take away from both teams from the game which was ultimately called off. The third ODI too has a rain threat and in case it is washed out the Kiwis will win the series 1-0.
