The third ODI between India and New Zealand fell victim to inclement weather at Hamilton's venue on Tuesday, with rain forcing match officials to call off play without a ball being bowled.
The washout proved advantageous for the Indian touring party, who extended their advantage in the five-match series to 2-0. The result leaves the visitors in a strong position to secure the series, with two matches remaining on their New Zealand tour.
Wet conditions at the Hamilton ground persisted throughout the day, preventing any meaningful cricket from taking place. The match had been scheduled as a crucial fixture in determining the series trajectory, but nature ultimately dictated the outcome.
India will be keen to consolidate their series dominance in the remaining fixtures. The teams are scheduled to continue their ODI contest at the next designated venue, with both sides looking to make their mark in the remainder of the tour.
